pabpo'pu' (KLBC) je: What's up with these words?



De'wIj tuqIm:

As if some of you don't have enough to do }};-)

I was looking over my "electronic annotated TKO" and ran across these 9 
word pairs and just wanted to ensure that they were correct and not some 
bizarre typo. If they are valid words, how do I distinguish betwixt them? 
"Usage" will work for some but not the others. I'd like a better answer 
than that.

chu' (v) - engage, activate (a device) [tko p83]
chu' (v) - be new [tko p83]

Daj (v) - interesting, be interesting [tko p83]
Daj (v) - test inconclusively [tko p181 (addendum)]

Degh (n) - medal, emblem, symbol, insignia [tko p181 (addendum)]
Degh (n) - helm [tko p84] (i.e., the helm of a ship)

pa' (n) - room [tko p99]
pa' (n) - there, over there, thereabouts [tko p99]

puS (v) - be few, be a handful, be several [tko p101] (few and several are 
opposites)
puS (v) - sight (with gunsight) [tko p101]

qutlh (v) - be cheap (in HolQeD from CK, David Barron)
Qutlh (v) - be cheap (my listing. possible typo of {qutlh})

SoQ (v) - shut, be closed [tko p108]
SoQmoH (v) - close, shut [tko p108] (SoH + -moH (VS4) - cause ??)

veqlargh (n) - devil, demon, Fek'lhr [tko p185 (addendum)]; [TKW p197]
veqlargH (n) -devil, demon, Fek'lhr [typo on kli.org new word list???]

wuq (v) - decide [tko p115]
wuq (v) - decide upon [tko p185 (addendum)]
