You can explain the context of a word the first time it's used, and then
describe it more simply later on, and assume that your reader will be able
to make the connection to the earlier more elaborate description. For
instance, you can talk about your hand swelling with *ghopwIj tInchoHmoH
'Iw**.* Assuming they properly understand that as a way to talk about
swelling, if you say later something like *tInchoHpu'bogh ghopwIj*, the
reader will see the verb *tIn* and be reminded of how you used it earlier
to talk about swelling.
Occasionally having to express a concept in a wordy way is just one of
those things you have to deal with if you've chosen to use a language whose
vocabulary is invented by one guy a few words at a time.
