That would be handy. Until the Addendum came out, I was quite puzzled
by the line from "Matter of Honor" when the officer accused Riker of lying.
All I knew was that it was much too long to be just {nep} or {neptaH}. In
the addendum, it was cited as an example:
nepwI' Daba! You act like a liar!
Needlessly circumloquacious, IMHO, but the writer probably thought that a one
syllable utterance would have been less dramatic. :) "yIHarQo'" I recognized,
despite it being pronounced "yee-HARR-kwo", with a noticeable Southernish drawl
(something I've noticed on several TNG Klingons, actually...)
