Many thanks for taking the time to record these exactly. I knew about some
but had no explanation as to what role they played in the game. For example...

My notes indicate that the Klingon words {bIQ bal} do occur in KCD,
probably in the Language Lab portion. Okrand later included it (along with
some other KCD terms) in the glossary of KGT. Now I know that a water jug
is a sort of ritual(ized)/traditional object, and not just some container
on the dinner table. I was also able to annotate the entries for {bIQ
bal}, {buy'}, {teb}, {lojmIt}, {juH}, {may'}, {yon} and {'oj} in my files,
which may provide context for future questions.
I'll have more comments later when I get a chance to go through your list
in more detail.
Keep up the good work!
