Oh, OK. I hear registration is down lately, though.

Muke is working the issue. My point stands. Anyone with an account can edit that page.

Half a point stands.

Gee, I'm sure glad you helped us settle that.

Anyway, Muke has fixed the registration issue. Anyone should be able to request an account now.

Thanks!

So I sent an email to Muke and he created an account for me.

I've been updating the vocabulary, letter by letter. So far I've done b, ch, and D.

http://www.frathwiki.com/Klingon/lexicon

Just finished all the updating.

Klingon has a lexicon of 3,001 words.

Did you include unverified words? The boQwI' app includes them with notes.

No, I didn't include the unverified ones.

Perhaps you should...just put them in a different section.

Wow! I never knew they added (at last!) a word for 'sun'. So long was I using words like pemHov or 'Hov'a' . I remember talking with Rev. Glen Proechel long-distance by phone, and discussing what that would be in Hol. At the time, he had recently come back to US:MN from Kamchatka Peninsula.

Great fellow linguist and Klingonist, sorely missed.

Marc Okrand has recently created a new Klingon word: tu'mI', meaning "sock".

If you reverse the syllables, tu'mI' sounds like "me too". Am I correct in thinking this is a pun on the term "sock puppet"?

Do you mean “Did M Okrand intend this as a pun?”? If so: IDK
Do you mean “Are we likely to henceforth regard this as (such) a pun?”? If so: obviously

Klingon is full of puns:

Considering how easy and intutive the "tu'mi' = me too = sock puppet = sock" connection seems, I doubt this is a coincidence in a language filled with puns.

The new word lIvqa'nan sounds like "leave Canaan". What do you suppose the given meaning, "doorframe [something constructed to hold a door or gate, whether the door/gate is there or not]", has to do with it?

Klingon now has words for "billion" (an homage to a certain astronomer, no less!), "to vote", "hypothesis", "to consider/regard", "to exploit", "physics", "to be hot/spicy", "to be savory", "etc.", "wormhole", "coincidence", "priest", "recipe", "genealogy", "theory", "glue", "rhyme", "rubber", "coconut", "salt", "hormone", "dust", "ashes", "nest", "fiction", "Afghanistan", "melody", and "breast" -- among others!

Why “coconut”? Is it a loanword, or a neologism? Any coconut anywhere off Earth has to be a transplant or import or descendant of such!
