Just two comments from me.
1. vIyajpu'chu' (not found) should probably be vIyajchu'pu'.
vI-yaj-chu'^pu' [ I-him/her/it/them {V} understand {VS6} clearly/perfectly
[manner] {VS7} perfective_aspect [done] ]
2. pabpo' (not found) is probably intended to mean "grammar-expert." Unless I
have missed something (corrections welcome), po' is not a noun but a verb (p.
100 "po' be expert, skilled (V)"; p. 132 "expert, be expert, skilled
(V) po'"). As a verb, it cannot participate in a compound, and so the
program fails to find an analysis. On the basis of p. 176 ("In Klingon, there
are many instances of nouns and verbs being identical in form") we might guess
that po' is also the noun meaning an "expert." If that turns out to be the
case, I'll have to add po' to the lexicon as a noun. Until that's resolved, we
have the perfectly good po'wI' ("one who is expert/skilled") and pabpo'wI', a
noun-noun compound which the program does accept.
