Very nice article. Timpane obviously "gets it" or, at least, understands the attraction of the language for us.

... Okrand says ... "The people attending are creative, interesting,
funny, and just plain smart." Which they truly are. Each year, they
beseech Okrand for additions to the {tlhIngan Hol} dictionary. Last
year, they begged him for a word for "pudding". It came out as
{wIlpuq}, pronounced pretty close to "will puke."
Time for the ritual post-qep'a' question: Any new words from Okrand this year?
