I saw some vague references, but nothing that I was ready to
quote in the New Words List. Meanwhile, after looking at the
site, I feel like these are words I will not be putting in the
New Words List after all for two reasons.
One is that rather than figure out their meaning from this
prose at the web site given below, I'll wait until I have the
actual word list from the book when it becomes available. Two
is that I won't list words in that word list, since that will
be a published Okrandian word list and I have no interest in
creating an unnecessary conflict of interest between Marc
Okrand and KLI. Okrand gets royalties for sales of the book. If
the words were published in the New Words List, people would
have one less reason to buy the book.
