bIloychu'.
The reason I'm pulling the new words apart is because I'm entering
them into my Android lexicon.
We've been getting a lot of new words which we know only from their
usage. For example, several of the words we've gotten from EuroTalk
are plural, but I assume that it's okay to strip the {-mey} or
whatever when I put the entry into my lexicon (for example, I list
{'ul 'aplo'mey} as {'ul 'aplo'}). But in the case of something like
{nIm wIb ngogh}, I want to make a note that it's what Klingons would
call a lump of Terran cheese, not that that's the word for "cheese"
(the substance).
