Keith R. A. DeCandido's new novel came out today. It's the fourth
installment in the IKS Gorkon series (however with a new name and
expanded to include the entire Empire, not just one ship). Anyway, as
usual, he has listed a glossary of Klingon terms in the back.
I have listed each of the words, but only expounded upon the newer of
the words. If I left off a description you need, I'll be glad to post
it.
First off, the relevant quote from the Acknowledgments section:
"I cannot begin to express my gratitude to Marc Okrand, who created
the Klingon language, and Dr. Lawrence Schoen, head of the Klingon
Language Institute (www.kli.org), who were of invaluable aid with many
Klingon words and phrases."

Modern playwrights have become obsessed with writing human
interpretations of alien theatrical works while ignoring completely
our own unique cultural heritage.~Bashir; "The Die is Cast" (DS9)
