RE: tlhIngan irc chat room
I"m doing my own lists by hand .. so I can add in easily with looseleaf
papers as I go through the 2-3 lists in TKD. Bu tnow I realize that not
all words were listed .. I found in leafing through that je' (buy) is not
in the tlhIngan Hol section ,now I have to double check every verb before
going onto the nouns ..but I do see patterns ,in some words that I didnt'
see before ,as I rewrite them into lists.
