These inputs +used to be a problem, because they force us to look at three +characters before we can determine the output for the first +character. When you are interested in the implementation, you might +want to have a look at the \textsf{Metafont} sources +in \texttt{pIq.mf}. + +In fact, words in which \texttt{tl} is not +followed by an \texttt{h} are pretty rare, but they do occur. +Consider for example the word \texttt{nuvItlaH} +(\raisebox{-2pt}{\kling nuvItlaH}), which means +`He can tell us the truth' in English. + +Words in which an \texttt{n} is followed by \texttt{gh} are +even more obscure. But maybe some Klingon liguists want to +discuss whether `the program' is properly translated as +\texttt{ghun} (\raisebox{-2pt}{\kling ghun}) or +\texttt{ghunghach} (\raisebox{-2pt}{\kling ghunghach}). + +\end{document} |
