four new words in his examples:

{ghun}  "be warm" (v.)

  ghun 'Iw HIq, rap bograt chej
   the bokrat liver is as warm as the bloodwine

{va'nuch}  "heel (body part)" (n.)

   nIb va'nuchDu'chaj
   their heels are identical

{vIl}  "be ridgy" (v.)

   QuchlIj vIl law' QuchwIj vIl pIm
   your forehead is not as ridgy as my forehead

   QuchwIj vIl law' QuchlIj vIl puS
   my forehead is ridgier than your forehead

   QuchlIj vIl law'be' QuchwIj vIl puSbe'
   your forehead isn't ridgier than my forehead

{woch}  "be tall" (v.)

   tlhIngan woch law' tera'ngan woch rap
   the Klingon is as tall as the Terran

   tlhIngan woch law' tera'ngan woch nIb
