When I was talking to Eric about the new words, he also mentioned
ghIv - limb (of a person)
Was that not on the list?

A cadre of grammarians had the opportunity to preview a section of a
Klingon opera. In it we noted a smattering of tlhIngan Hol spellings
for names of various places, people, and plants. Someone wrote them
down, but I did not think them important enough at the time to record
them myself. I do recall that {Suto'vo'qor} was confirmed as correct.
There were three nouns we had not seen before:
maQ "omen, sign"
ruS "bond", as between blood brothers
chalqach "tower"
The first two give standalone meanings to already-existing morphemes
(see {maQmIgh} and {ruStay} in TKD). A running joke has been going for
many years about wanting a word for "deluxe apartment in the sky"; we
now know to say {chalqach pa''a'}. :)
We also saw an apparently adverbial {wa'DIch}, confirming that the
{wa'DIch jagh'e' wIHeghmoHmo'} line in {taHjaj wo'} is appropriate
usage.
