I'm not counting "words" as such.  I'm counting canon definitions from the
lexicons of TKD and KGT, plus a few other scattered sources as recorded in
HolQeD.  Thus {ghoj} and {ghojmoH} each get counted, because each is found
in TKD.  {bel} and {belHa'} both appear, but {belmoH} does not, even though
there is an English word "please" that translates it literally.
