Antonyms
here is the lates list of Antonym pairs I have collected from the TKD and
other sorses.
Please review and make suggests.
I fully realize that some might not be considered ideal antonym pairs so if
something is REALLY dubious then let me know.
This is something I intend to contribute to the AKD that charghwI' is
working on.

Antonyms in Klingon
NOTE. These verb antonyms are limited to those that are not created with the -be' and -
Ha' verb suffixes.
Many of these words act as antonyms only within certain contexts. The
antonym, for example, lutlh (be primative) , tay (be civilized)
may apply when discribing people and cultures but not for plants. In
that case you would use 'Itlh (be advanced).
Also not all of these are perfect antonyms but offer close alternatives
that can offer a good option for a creative student.
