Thanks for reminding me, Sally. That too was pretty cheesy. At least in
the televised version (and possibly in the screen production as well), it
was essentially garbled English. It just didn't "sound" good; the syntax
was English as well. It was Star Trek II, and her name was Savick.

PS, the Interested Conlanger should probably also hang around in the
Usenet groups devoted to Star Trek, particularly the "technical" group.
At least one ST creative genius hangs out there, and is very open to
questions and comments. I think it's Rick Sternbach. He may also be able
to locate the Ferengi project from there more easily.
