Edna Glovers scene as the Vulcan Kholinahr Master was filmed with her speaking English. Only later were Vulcan words (invented by

For example, when the subtitles say "Our ancestors cast out their animal passions on these very sands" her lips are clearly saying "Spock, on these sands our ancestors cast out their animal passions." Other examples are "Your thoughts... give them to me" subtitle versus "Spock... give me your thoughts" actual and "Your human blood is touched by it, Spock" subtitle versus "It stirs your human half, Spock" actual.
