Yes, KLI's journal, HolQeD has published additional Klingon words which
may be added to our lexicon. KLI does not itself invent new words, but
it covers any new words which Okrand has introduced, either through
supplemental sources like the CK and PK audio cassette tapes or through
interviews with Okrand.

Join the KLI and you will receive a subscription to HolQeD with your
membership. You can also order back-issues of HolQeD. Of particular
interest are issues 1.3 and 2.4 where many new words have been introduced.

Klingon dispenses with superfluous social nicities. You simply
state your intention. If you simply say {DaH jImejnIS} or {SIbI' jImejnIS}
you have announced your intention to leave and that is all that
is required. The closest thing to a farewell in Klingon is {Qapla'}.
