Produce it word by word, just like anyone else here. You can
definitely make such a list for yourself. It is when you start
passing it out or selling it to anyone else that
attracts the attention of Paramount lawyers.
When I produced my own Annotated Klingon Dictionary, it was a
simple Word file. I hand-built the Klingon-English and
English-Klingon sides, which was quite illuminating, considering
that more than a dozen words fail to match between the two sides.
It is a lot of work, but then quite a few people here have done
it, often repeatedly. It definitely builds your familiarity with
the vocabulary like no other excercise can.
