Ahhh...thanks for your help.

Are there any more idioms that aren't in the idioms section of KGT? From 
TKW, I have {Hovmey Davan), (pe''egh) and (pIpyuS yIghor!) From the 
"Language Gaffes" section of KGT, I have (ro'lIj HI'ang!) From post-KGT 
sources, I have (tIngvo' 'evDaq chanDaq), ('arlogh Qoylu'pu'?), and now 
(pumDI' 'etlh)
