I have no time right now, but I'll throw two words in:
{DarSeq} "unit of currency" and {DeQ} "credit"

{verengan jIHbe'.} Never tell a Klingon {verenganbe' jIH}!!! ;-)
jIH can be translated as "I am", so it takes all the verb-suffixes, not
the noun.
{Huch} is money to me, and it can be misunderstood as {Quch}! Use
{DarSeq} or {DeQ} instead. For "wealth" I'd suggest {mIp}.
