Ok, but then how to generate the new metaphor like they did to honor Picard and Dathon at El-Adrel?

    Balls. Well, I guess we'll have to assume they understand "and" and "at" at the very least. In that case, new idioms of (person) at (place) could be created, but "Shaka, when the walls fell" would be an idiom from the language spoken beforehand.

    And this is just my tortured excuse, but the premise falls apart otherwise.
