Felix, most of your words are words I'd also have on my wishlist (if I had
one). I'd like to add "answer (n)" to it as well.
But we actually do have two words describing flowers:
1) tlheng'IQ = type of flower; thranx
the "thranx" flowers once every eight years ['u' opera]
2) chal = flowers

But it seems the canonicity of "Sarek" is debated, hm...
