Huh? The word "computer" was said in TKD. We all know it refers to some 
kind of machine, and is not a "person who computes".

I like to translate {tepqengwI'} into German so I need to distiguish if 
this is used for the person at the airport who carries your luggage, or 
some kind of craft that is similar to a {lupwI'} or {tongDuj}, or maybe the 
owner of such a ship whose job it is to transport goods.

literally, {tepqengwI'} is "Gepäck-Träger" or "Frachtträger", which can be 
misleading toward the thing you put on the roof of your car to transport a 
bike or your pair of skis.

Quvar.
