I prefer the original file, in our case the vocabulary pictures. The more
replicas/alternate versions of the original files someone creates, the more
are the probabilities that mistakes will appear.

majQa'! My request for weather words made it to Maltz! Thank you, Maltz.

Is {ghugh} a noun or a verb? The entry says (n) but the English gloss
"vocalize" is a verb. I have a similar question about the weather words
like {vung}, {cheq}, and {raw}, which are listed as verbs but glossed as
nouns. Most of the existing weather words are verbs, so that's not too
surprising, but I do want to double check.

The odd note about {nev'aQ} makes me wonder if there's going to be a scene
with a Klingon sarcophagus in space in Star Trek: Discovery (that is,
assuming MO did get asked to do some Klingon for it after all, as someone
suggested earlier).

Puns:

{yamtaw} "line" backwards is a rough transliteration of "what's my", as in
the old show What's My Line?

{jItuj'ep} "mummy". I groaned when I figured this one out, which is the
sign of a quality pun. "I'm hot" ({jItuj}) + "ep" = Imhotep.

{retlaw} "dent, indentation" backwards is "Walter", which suggests someone
named "Walter Dent", but there's no obviously significant Walter Dent that
I can find on Google... the mystery continues.

{DabqI'} "mud, clay, putty" backwards is a rough transliteration of
"Ichabod". Ichabod Mudd was the eponymous hero's sidekick on the old serial
Captain Midnight. (This word's been around a while but I just found out the
pun recently.)
