There are no new words, there are only new definitions for the words we
already know. (Marc Okrand suggested there'd be new words, but we haven't
seen a one yet.) However, I've been quite disappointed with what we've seen
there so far: things like {Hogh} equal to one *Earth* week, or {jar} equal to
one *Earth* month, when TKD explicitly telling us that that these are Klingon
periods, and a few other silly things. They seem very much like they were not
thought out.
Occasionally, one of us who can access this web page will run into something
we didn't notice before. However, these are little tiny details, like the
transitivity of a particular word. It's not the sort of thing one always
realizes is not clarified. And, just how long would you be interested in
going to this site every day, just to find the definition of {HoD}? This is
no one's *duty*, unless you'd like to undertake it . . .
