Also in "Okrand's Notes" in HolQeD 2:4 p. 17. "Actually, this is the word translated in TKD as the verb "record," meaning to make a record of something(whether this record be written or a digital recording or an old-fashioned wax cylinder or anything). Apparently Klingon songs are not composed by anybody --they're just out there, waiting to be hunted down, trapped, and logged (that is,written down and/or taught to others). "KGT adds the meaning of "compose. "KGT p. 71. The word used for "compose" is qon. This verb also means "record"and is used whether the recording is by hand (that is, written or even etched in stone), in a medium suitable for a computer, or any other form. From the Klingon point of the, a song is not the product of an individual's mind. It has somehow always existed and is waiting for someone (the songwriter or, more accurately, song recorder (qonwI') to transcribe it and then present it (much) to others. There are a number of very well known songwriters, and it is quite an honor if one of them composes a song about one's exploits. Currently, perhaps the most respected qonwI' is Keedera.
