Marc Okrand has revealed 167 new Klingon words at the latest qep'a'!

Both of my requests made it in. "Disorder, disability, syndrome, condition" became the second-most popular request on the chabal tetlh, and was revealed as
HarqIn. This word no doubt honors Tom Harkin, who helped pass the Americans with disabilities Act. "Headphones" can either be
DannI' (covers both ears and includes a band across head), or
teS HablI' (described as like what Uhura wears). I researched and found out that Dany is a Pakistan-based headphone manufacturer.
None of the words requested in July were included in the update. Apparently, Okrand made his list in June.
We got a number of new chemical elements: aluminum, plutonium, mercury, sodium, titanium, calcium.
Some great puns:
monQIv (algae) references Algernon "Algy" Moncrieff of
The Importance of Being Earnest.
SupDIng (Kronos' equivalent of cotton) is made out of
Sup (to jump) and
DIng (to spin), as in "Jump down, spin around, pick a bale o' cotton . . ." And
ravngI' (furniture) Is Ingvar Kamprad's first name spelt backwards.
A number of other LCV words now have Klingon equivalents: "lawsuit", "to absorb", "esophagus", "mint", "porch", "to be wise", "dollar", "to stress, to emphasize", "seizure (epileptic)", "fair, circus", "oval", "(magic) trick", "scab", "teen, teen-ager, adolescent, youth, young adult", "thyroid", "counter", "lily", "pronoun", "curfew", "protein", "braid", "marble", "to reflect", "gluten", "to be turbulent", "to solve", "date" (as in going out with someone), "vinegar", "athlete", "trapezoid", "parent", "to nod", "sickle", "cream", "adverb(ial)", "to aim", "to be cool", "to tap", "gums", "nightmare", "to blush", "cherry", "pancreas", "common cold", "to be curly", "favor", "to blink", "gland", "Wales", "to be hollow", "to slap", "to be lonely", "RNA", "void", "freckle(s)", "squash/pumpkin", "by the way", "tumor", "drug", "peach/apricot", "dew", "base (alkali)", "spouse", and "spleen".
