The exercise of compiling your own complete dictionary is one of the best
ways I know to become familiar with the vocabulary. It's amazing how many
seldom-used words are lurking in the pages of The Klingon Dictionary. Some
folks complain about the dearth of vocabulary, without ever taking
advantage of the likes of {ghIb} "consent". If you want a comprehensive
dictionary of your own, go through TKD and KGT and the New Words List,
entry by entry, copying down each and every word by hand. Taking advantage
of someone else's effort denies you the benefit of the exercise.
