The cool thing is that most of the Qov words are not anymore. Qov's
vocabulary is still impressive beyond reason, but many others have
drastically improved their own vocabularies. We rarely have reason to
use to use words like <vaHbo'> in conversation, but a lot of people know
what it means. At qep'a' vaghDIch, it seemed to me that even our
everyday conversational vocabulary had expanded quite a bit, with less
use of very generic words like <ghaj> and more use of more specific
words like <'uch>, <woH>, etc.
