klingon_story1-1  Exercise 2: Two Descriptions of 1979
=======================================================

  Wikipedia's account:  Doohan and Povill devised the sound and about a
                        dozen words; Doohan recorded the lines; Mark Lenard
                        spoke them and wrote them out in a way he found
                        useful for learning them. It stresses who made the
                        words.

  The KLI account:      viewers heard "guttural shouts"; only subtitles
                        carried meaning; the actors put emotion into what
                        were then meaningless sounds. It stresses what the
                        audience experienced.

  They agree: in 1979 there was a sound and a few words, but not yet a
  language with a grammar.
