As I understand it, these WOTD posts are automated - therefore, unedited - 
random selections from Holtej's Klingon database.  Although he has some 
antonyms listed in the "Additional Notes" field, he doesn't seem to have 
synonyms.  That's where I come in.  I have synonyms, antonyms, "see also" 
references, canon uses, and discussions in "Klingon for the Galactic 
Traveller" in my notes for many of the Words of the Day, and I try to share 
this material as a supplement to Holtej's WOTD posts.

As always, if anyone wants to suggest additional related words, or disagree 
with my suggestions, feel free to comment.  I don't have notes for each and 
every Klingon word listed in TKD and KGT, so I appreciate the chance to add 
to them.  Also, sometimes looking at everything together for a given word 
launches an interesting discussion and reveals an occasional surprise.  (I 
call these "undocumented features" of the language.)
