Cool. There's got to be a pun in {Se'vIr} but I can't see it!
Other useful words from the {Se'vIr malja'} - or book trade - include:
{ghItlh} manuscript
{paq} book
{mem} catalog
{malja' per} trademark
For "issue (of magazine)" people have used {chovnatlh} "specimen" (KLI < Starfleet Academy #18 [special Klingon issue]) or {jabbI'ID} "data transmission" (Star Trek Communicator #104 [Aug-Sep 1995) special Klingon issue]):
jarvam chovnatlh current issue
wen chovnatlh past issues (i.e. of Qo'noS QonoS) KLI
tlhIngan jabbI'ID le' Special Klingon issue
(Star Trek Communicator #104)
{per} "label" has been used for "title" and {qonwI'} or {gherwI'} for "author".
{nargh} "escape, eject; appear" has often been used by the KLI and on this list for "publish".
And, as always, let's not forget that:
Paramount Pictures malja' permey bIH Star Trek pong'e' Deghmey'e' je.
"Star Trek" and related marks are trademarks of Paramount Pictures.
