klingon_story1-2  Exercise 3: Both Can Be True
==============================================

"Not based on any existing language" is about the plan: Okrand did not take
Klingon from one language's grammar and vocabulary.

"Not by design" is about the result: he knew many languages, and features of
them (Native American and Southeast Asian languages, in Wikipedia's account)
worked their way in without his choosing them.

So Klingon has no model, but it still carries traces of what its maker knew.
