This is actually my father's theory, not mine. When he was reading TFP, he came to the part where Threepio speaks to Tahiri in Vongese (or whatever it's called). He decided that it looked like Klingon and decided to look it up in the Klingon dictionary.

Well, turns out that "Onih k'leth mof'qey", allowing for slight variation from the root, translates to "Ten thousand wives become a problem."

Now, I thought that this was just a fluke. I decided to prove it by looking up various other Vongese words we had encountered. What I discovered was rather frightening.

Yuuzhan= Do you question fate?
Vong=Yong= to enter
Yuuzhan Vong= Do you enter into questioning fate?

Har= believe
rar= connect
Harrar= connect beliefs (how appropriate)

nom= fast
ngor (closest I could get to Anor in a language that never starts words with A. The pronunctiation is closer than it looks)= cheat
Nom Anor= fast cheat

qaw=remember
qawHaq=qahsa= memory banks

nem= years from now
yIn= live
Nen Yim= live years from now (apparently she had some impact before meeting Mr. Rock)

rIn= accomplished
nab= plan
rInnab=Riina= accomplished plan (isn't that what she was?)

yun= be satisfied
Yun Yuuzhan= satisfied that you question fate (what does this mean for the Vong religion?)
laH- ability
yun harlaH=Yun Harla= satisified in believability

Tsavong (don't have the breakdown for this one)= general who hypnotizes

yo'= fleet
riH= energize
yo'riH=yorrick=energize fleet (close enough tongue )

Do=velocity
vI'= accumulate
bas= metal
sal= ascend
DovI' bassal=dovin basal= velocity accumulate, metal ascend (other than metal, describes the function perfectly)

su'= hide
nuH= weapon
'a= but
saH= care about
qatlh= why?
su'nuH'a saHqatlh= Zonama Sekot (closer than it looks)= hidden weapon, but cares why

vIt= tell the truth
lup= transport
vItlup=villip= transport the truth

may= battle
seH= control
yo'mayseH=yammosk (Klingon pronunctiation is weird tongue )=fleet battle control

On a side note, Dagobah translates to "sit and understand ethics" tongue

And yes, I realize it's pathetic that I sat down and figured this out. No need to remind me. tongue

It takes an incredibly childish and selfish mindset to think that any money you earned in a codependent economy and society like ours was through your own efforts alone.
The same is true of the idea that "made more money" = "worked harder".

So there's no question is there?

Obviously the NR ejects the Klingvong out of the GFFA and after aeons of travel they end up in our galaxy. The millenia have altered them drastically and wittled their numbers, the remaining few crash into their "homeworld" of Qo'noS and over the centuries forget their history. Obviously then the massive shift in Klingon appearance between the original series and the next generation is the result of a Vong bio weapon they somehow escaped millenia later, although it's potency had long been dimmed.

I would also postulate that Tribbles were intially created to stem this, however following the great tribble extinction the disease ran rampant amoung the Klingvong.

This of course also explains how we know of the GFFA, the NR had sent a message to follow the Vong and warn any galaxy they entered of the threat, good job GL translating the history of the Klingvong threat.

It's so obvious.

o.O
