     This is exactly the place to share this sort of thing so we can annotate
our TKDs. While you are at it, note that "accompany" is a verb and not a
noun, and that "happen simultaneously" (v) is {quq}. 

     You might want to use "download" or "receive data" instead of "transmit
data (to a place) - lI'" and "upload" or "send data" instead of "transmit
data (away from a place) - lab". When I upload, I'm transmitting data to the
place I am uploading to, right? That qualifies as "to a place", though Okrand
really means "to the computer you are operating". While downloading, I happen
to be transmitting data away from the host, which qualifies as "away from a
place". Okrand means "away from the computer you are operating". The only
reason I think I have these straight is through usage in ST3.

     And while you are annotating your TKD, remember to add -oy' to the noun
tables and -ba', -ghach, -jaj and -mo' to  your verb tables, and remind
yourself that -vIS always needs -taH.

     Anybody else have other additions to these suggested annotations?
