The Four Questions In Klingon

‘ach qaStaHvIS ramvam’e’, “Matza” neH wISop. -

qaStaHvIS Hoch rammey, maSopDI’, maQot qoj maba’,
‘ach qaStaHvIS ramvam’e’, maQotba’ Hochma’.
For those wondering whether Klingon Seders include four cups of Gagh, I did some homework. And, though the 51 and more varieties of the drink can involve worms processed in ways appropriate to the holiday, sadly the prohibition against the eating of creatures that slither on their bellies from Leviticus 11:42 rules out any prospect of kosher gagh — as long it’s made from real worms.
