I think most of us agree that it's inappropriate to distribute a complete
word list. There's a real benefit to going through the dictionary page by
page and copying the vocabulary by hand. This also applies to some extent
to the words revealed in the audiotapes.
But there is an increasing collection of words whose definitions appear in
the pages of HolQeD only. {qa'vIn}, {yejHaD}, and {'uD'a'} come to mind.
Many people on this list and elsewhere don't have the financial priorities
on learning Klingon to permit them to purchase the appropriate back issues
of HolQeD. I wonder if it might not be a bad idea to collect all of the
post-TKD vocabulary in a single "officially maintained" list.
Such a list wouldn't have to be made freely available. Perhaps something
like an "annual supplement" to TKD could be offered in return for a few
dollars' donation to the KLI. What do you all think?
