CONLANG: Borrowing from Klingon
Would it be bad to borrow vocabulary from Klingon into a language I'm
developing? My language isn't designed for hostility, so many such words
won't be borrowed, but most of the vocabulary could be very useful to me,
and Klingon's morpheme structure is the same as mine (CVC, usually), so
it makes it easy to borrow.
What do you think?
