That's right; so that came across.

What I meant to convey here was that previous to getting cable I didn't 
"get" the new UPN affiliate station, i.e., my antenna didn't pick it up.  
Would {Hev} be a better word than {Suq} to use for receiving transmissions?  
Is {Suq} specifically an act of physically obtaining something?  TKD is not 
very clear on this.

Since I'm a programmer, I wrote an electronic dictionary for my PC.  Even 
before TKD arrived, I was putting words into it from KGT and TKW, as well as 
the Klingon WOTD.  I type each word in by hand.  Tonight I finished putting 
in the p's, so I haven't hit {Se'} yet.
