Alright, except for {chIj} = "drive" (v), these words are extractions and
rearrangements thereafter.  Not one of them has canon base, yet.  My
challenge is:  in 1878 the Hebrew language began its resuscitation; its
dictionary was a thick pamphlet; look at the size of a Hebrew dictionary now.
 Will tlhIngan Hol grow?

While I tacitly agree that only Marc Okrand has the right to coin new words,
I would like to see KLI, for example, analyzing the language in the manner I
have done above and "suggesting".  We could then get the final word from MO
as to how close we have come to the bullseye.  (NOTE:  yesh lelashon 'ivrit
"chet".)
