Actually, there are quite a few mu'mey chu' ("new words"). Most
of them come from the audiotapes "Conversational Klingon" and
"Power Klingon" by Marc Okrand; a few have appeared on the special
Skybox trading cards written in Klingon. Such new words appear
in HolQeD soon after they are "discovered." A handful of new words
were given directly to the KLI by Mac Okrand, and have only been
distributed in HolQeD. There's no single published list of them;
interested people are strongly encouraged to purchase the issues
of HolQeD that contain the new words (or, better yet, an entire
set of back issues).

The conjunction {je} *follows* the list of nouns it is combining.
This phrase would properly be {bang roj batlh je} *if* the noun
{bang} meant what you apparently want it to mean. However, it
doesn't refer to the emotion or act of "love" -- it really means
"beloved" or "loved one."
