Kaplakh!

I beggo yo paddo?
You haven´t tried "Neusvleugel" (wing of the nose = nostril), "Buitenhuisje"
(little house in the country) and "Reistijden langs de Leidse Rijn" (travelling
times along side the river Rhine-of-Leiden). Such elegant vowels are certainly
absent in the Klingon language. Ask a Dutchman to pronounce this.
