Okrand's email to Quvar (10/24/2011):
the Klingon phrase for publishing house is {Se'vIr malja'}.
{Se'vIr} is a publication of any kind (print or otherwise);
it's a new word. {malja'} means "business".
PUN:
Elsevier (the venerated Dutch publishing house).
["BTW at the qepHom'a' MO confirmed that {Se'vIr malja'} is indeed based on the name of Elsevier publishing company." ('ISqu', 11/26/2011)
Related words:
paq book (n)
ghItlh manuscript (n)
mem catalog (n)
Since I'm a cataloger (*{paq buvwI'}?) in an academic library, I can't resist... For "title" we can use {per} "label"; for "author" *{qonwI'}; for an issue of a magazine, etc. {chovnatlh} "specimen" (KLI < Starfleet Academy #18) or {jabbI'ID} "data transmission" [STC #104]). {nargh} "escape; appear" is sometimes used for the verb "publish, release" (e.g. books, magazines, movies, DVDs, etc.).
Qov (and any others), what bibliographical terms do you routinely use?
