I haven't got the HolQeD article handy, but I'm pretty sure Okrand
specifically said that {tlhob} is not a verb of saying.
In any case, Okrand's examples of verbs of saying in TKD are in English,
not Klingon. If he meant the Klingon words, he'd have said them. He was
simply explaining what "verbs of saying" are, not listing valid ones.
