Okrand has released hundreds of new words lately, which are really 
helpful for daily use, but we are still missing simple words like 
"fridge" and "diapers".

Only TKD and KGT.

Yes, indeed. Many people would volunteer to do that, even Okrand, but 
it's a question of money and copyright. But I think that nobody actually 
has asked Paramount.

> * No word for ground vehicles, so members had to use {Duj} = "ship" to mean "car".

See the Talk Now CD, including word like "train" and "railway station".

> * No word for "sun", so members had to use "star" instead.

See paq'batlh, which uses the word {jul} for "sun".

You may also want to review te newwords lists on kli.org and qepHom.de
