The words are listed in HolQeD. According to the index in the latest
issue, they are in 1:4, 2:3, 3:1, 1:3, 2:4, 3:2, and 3:3. Back-issues
available from the KLI. I have a list somewhere... what would be the
official policy on making that available, Lawrence?

"nga'chuq" was given to us by Okrand as it is; there seems to be emphasis
that it sholdn't be backformed (that's the way Okrand's definition seems to
me, anyway). I originally heard "lItHa'" as "lIghHa'", which would make a
lot of sense. Dunno what "lIt" should mean for certain, tho.
