I'd recently looked up legal terms to help me with my translation of
the court scenes in Star Trek VI. Besides the above, there's also:
{chun} "v. be innocent"
{DIv} "v. be guilty"
{DIS} "v. confess"
{pIch} "n. fault, blame", "v. blame"
{pum} "n. accusation", "v. accuse"
{ruv} "n. justice"
{vItHay'} "truth test, truth duel" (is this a noun or a verb?)
{yoj} "n. judgment"
{loHwI'} "n. magistrate"
{cha'DIch} "n. second, aide" (legal term, person who stands in for
accused in combat)
Some verbs related to judgment/testing:
{noH} "v. judge, estimate"
{chov} "v. assess, evaluate"
{nuD} "v. examine" ({nuDchuq} = "cross-examine"? may be too literal a reading)
{waH} "v. try out, test, use experimentally"
Some sentences to declare innocence:
{pIch vIghajbe'} "It's not my fault."
{vIta'pu'be'} "I didn't do it."
(I also have a theory that {DIj} "v. slide sword blade along
opponent's blade" is a legal term too, and is the element found in
{ghIpDIj} and {bo'DIj}.)
