Klingon Words Not in The Klingon Dictionary

The words listed here are missing from the dictionary (added later by Dr. Okrand) or were expanded upon after its publication. List compiled by Will Martin (a.k.a. charghwI'). Note that some of these words are still a little unsure, and the list is subject to additions, deletions, and emendations as our knowledge increases. Annotations and determinations of what warrants inclusion in this list are due to Will. Send him suggestions for additional entries, realizing that only words from confirmed Okrand sources will be accepted, and the source must be cited. See the explanation at the bottom of this list for source abbreviation descriptions.

Note that with the addition of the book Klingon for the Galactic Traveler, we have a new published word list with which we have no interest in competing. All entries of words formerly on this list which exist in KGT have been removed so as to not compete with Dr. Okrand's income via royalties. KGT words exist here only if they have shown up somewhere in canon with a different meaning than listed in KGT. For a complete word list, combine this list with TKD and KGT.

mughato'
(n) mugato [Introduced TOS episode #47: A Private Little War. One of the more notable native animal forms on Neural {Zeta Boötis III} is the mugato, a large, white, ape-like creature with dorsal spines and a cranial horn. The mugato are monogamous, mating for life. Little or no provocation will spark an attack by this hostile creature, whose bite is highly poisonous and fatal if untreated. The only antidote for the mugato bite is the proper application of the native mako root, which has the ability to draw the toxin out of the human nervous system. {No mention is made of how to draw it out of a Klingon nervous system. Of the planet, the text says:} The native inhabitants of the planet are humanoid, possibly the descendants of a Centaurian exploration mission that disappeared in the area some two hundred years ago. The population was once one of tranquil, peace-loving hunters, but a serious breach of the Prime Directive has resulted in their development of war and comparatively advanced projectile weapons. Direct Klingon interference, countered by Federation involvement, has divided the inhabitants into five major factions, each of which is feuding with the other four.
