Oh yes, sorry, bad phrasing on my side. With "coining" I didn't really mean
"inventing" but rather taking a word and using it for a computer-related
term. I also know it wasn't Google itself who did the Klingon translation.
But the Google website used the word {nagh beQ} meaning image, picture,
photo, so I thought I should note that in my list.
Or maybe I really thought that Google invented that word, back then? Might
be I hadn't created my database of all Klingon words and their sources
(similar but inferior to Voragh's) yet.
