There was a list in HolQeD, I think... I probably won't catch things you
left out, but I think I see some things you didn't need to include:

>Firstly, I will list the 'new' vocabulary.

>QongDaq		bed (n)					p.40

Not new.  Found in Conversational Klingon.

>mupwI'		hammer (n)				p.120

Arguably new; a construction from mup.  But I think you're right that it's
significant to list this as a new word, since before now it was a guess, a
"striker" and not a hammer.

>nargh		escape (v)				p.145

Not new.  Look in the addendum lexicon.
