I hope to have a list of new words (as supplied by charghwI') on the
website by the end of today or tomorrow. It may not have everything from
the new CD-ROM, but we're working on that.

So many questions ("How can I achieve inner peace?" "How can I lose
weight?" "How can I bring about world peace and an end to hunger and
want?") can be answered so simply with the same answer: Send money to the
KLI. You can order directly from the web, information is available at
http://www.kli.org/kli/Merchant.html for all back-issues as well as how to
hoin the KLI and get new issues as they come out (a subscription to HolQeD
is one of the main benefits of membership).

Interesting. We similarly have "seat oneself" as a slightly more formal
(if not necessarily respectful) version of "sit down." I don't see how
using -'eghmoH would be necessarily *wrong* in Klingon, but I don't think
we can conclude anything about its idiomatic meaning absent any evidence.
