Notes:

tlhIngan (Klingon) doesn't have a word for 'love'.  Rather,
one says its opposite, sort of like dis-hate =  love.  This
suggests that Klingons are very fierce people (as they are),
but perhaps it means that they so full of love that one only
need note that so-and-so does not HATE me, to know they love
you.


Notes on pronunciation:

Jesus is not a Klingon name - nor Greek either.  The 's' sound doesn't
exist in Klingon and would normally be an sh.  In the tlhIngan gospel
of Mark, it is written yeSuS, pronounced ye-shoosh.  I chose to use
'Jesus' because it would be (presumably) taught and used by humans
who are more used to that form of the name.

gh = *almost* a grr sound
H = 'ch' like in Bach, or Chanukah
S = 'sh' like shalom
' = a glottal stop; like a cockney pronunces an 'h'
