The word qepHom ([qʰɛpʰ.ˈxom], Klingon for small gathering) is generally used for any kind of gathering where people may talk about or in Klingon, a fictional language created for Star Trek. [1] In Germany, the word has become commonly used for a specific annual meeting in Saarbrücken, because it is the largest meeting of its kind. [2]

The Klingon Dictionary (TKD) is a book by Marc Okrand describing the Klingon language. First published in 1985 and then again with an addendum in 1992, it includes pronunciation, grammar and vocabulary.
The script is written in horizontal lines running from left to right, top to bottom, just like English. Klingon can be written with spaces between words (a word being defined as any noun, verb or leftover, plus any prefixes and suffixes attached to it) and punctuation. When this is the case, two punctuation marks are used:
The Klingon language has a small vocabulary compared to natural languages, containing around 2,000 words after it had been created in the 1990s. [22] After its initial creation, Okrand has frequently created new words, so that the total number of words has grown up to approximately 3,000.
Klingon uses a base-10 system to count numbers. To form a multiple of 10, 100, 1 000, 1 000 000, the word for the multiple of ten is suffixed to the digit. For example, chorghmaH eighty is a combination of the word chorgh eight and the number forming suffix -maH ten. Larger powers go before smaller powers: chorghmaH Soch is eight-ten seven.
Frequently, the Klingon appearing in the shows was inconsistent with the vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation set out in The Klingon Dictionary (see the Klingon language in Star Trek canon). These discrepancies are explained in Klingon for the Galactic Traveler as being the result of special constructions, archaic forms, or ritual language.
