klingon_story1-9  Exercise 2: Meeting and Parting
=================================================

  nuqneH   "What do you want?" - a greeting that asks for your business, so
           meeting is direct and a little confrontational.
  Qapla'   "Success!" - parting is a wish for victory.

Together they suggest a culture that values directness and success over
politeness. This is the picture the language draws; it is a design, not
evidence of a real people.
