Thanks for the feedback. If you mail updates directly to me
rather than through the list, I'll get them a little faster.

Both are also easily understood with the existing
definitions of disruptor, rifle and handgun. If it makes
you happy, I'll add them all the same.

I need to get back to the source on that.

Wait a minute. This looks like a rather presumptive
definition. {qa'meH} looks a whole lot like a verb. I need
to see the context in canon before I'll post this as one of
our common words, especially as a noun.

Again, I'll have to see the original canon for context. I
do not intend to post words we can't be reasonably sure
about.

I don't know how I missed these. I have them in my Pilot,
and I presume I have them in my AKD. I must have skimmed
past them when I made Exceptional Words.. I'll definitely
add these in.

I'll check and correct this.

Like many words with expanded definitions, it is there
because someone with TKD would otherwise not have the
"frozen asteroid" reference given in TKW.

I missed qa'vIn?
wejpuH.
I'm on it. It may be the weekend before I get these fixed,
and as yet I still don't have an account to directly change
the file (reminder to ~mark), so there may be a delay
between my correcting it and the file getting posted (after
the delay that will exist before I get to update the file).
Anyway, thanks for the editing. It is a big project, and so
far people have caught fewer of my errors than I've caught
of Okrand's, so I don't feel TOO bad.

I'll try to work that in.
