I had no guess and nothing but open mouthed astonishment at the least
useful word in the list engendering two new Klingon words.


qoSta'?  'aplo'??
I think Qov means that "cassette" is the least useful *English* word in the list. The two new Klingon words seem to be quite useful. Here's my take on them: 

qoSta' - strip, tape (not necessarily sticky) (n)

'aplo' - container (n)
