{Qompu'}?? I could only find this in KGT (p.162f.):
The word {Qom} literally means "experience a tremor or, using
an old Terran phrase, "experience an earthquake". The word is
used in its slang sense of "perilous, treacherous" when applied
to a mission or voyage. [...] Thus, {Qompu' Duj} (literally,
"The ship has experienced a tremor") may be used to mean "The
ship is hazardous, has been left in a hazardous condition".
{Qompu'} isn't listed in the New Words list. What does it mean?
