There are various informal lists; somewhere on my endless list of things to
do is make a web page with all the new words words in Klingon not in TKD
(reproducing TKD's lexicon would probably be a copyright problem). I don't
know anything about 'I'.

I doubt it; this list's charter specifies the *KLINGON* language, not
languages of other races in the show. Note also that Miller's Ferengi is
not "official" in the sense of being recognized or used by Paramount; he's
just a guy who decided to make up a language for folks he saw on TV (not a
put-down of Timothy or his Ferengi; it's actually a very neat language and
I encourage linguistically-minded Klingonists to check it out).
> (3) What is the Klingon for "spacesuit"?
I don't know of one. One could perhaps come up with a circumlocution like
{logh HIp} (I believe we've seen {logh} used for "outer space"
specifically).

Riva was his name.
