Umm... look again. Mark's note is dated *October* 11.
Looks like you were hit by a temporal anomaly, Denny. :-)
*** Looks like it! You're right; I rechecked the message and it *IS*
dated Oct 11. But it showed up in my mailbox sometime since last night!
I just looked only at the number part of the date and the time and thought
it had just come in. ***

You've got access to the WWW, right? Check out the list of new words
at <http://www.kli.org/kli/newwords.html>. {qeq} and {Qeq} are two
*different* verbs. TKD tells us {qeq} is "practice, train, prepare"
and CK introduces the verb {Qeq} "aim" (among other words). PK, the
Skybox cards, TKW, and the ST:Klingon CD also add to our vocabulary.
A few words have been given to us "directly" by Okrand via HolQeD.
TKD is still as reliable as ever; it's just not *complete*.
*** Thank you for the tip about the WWW -- I'll try it out ASAP. ***
*** BTW, I suspect that someone goofed when they made the tape and used the
wrong word for "train" and the word {Qeq} was hurriedly invented to cover
the gaffe. ***
*** I sincerely hope that this will put the matter to rest. In case
anyone thinks otherwise, this is to advise that I will not reply to any
post that makes reference to it. ***
