<br>
Well, a lot of this vocabulary is new, but has apparently been revealed at the latest qepHom.<br>
<br>
However, if I've understood this correctly, Marc Okrand actually had to retcon a lot of this dialogue, because in the final cut the scenes ended up in the wrong order and with some of them removed altogether.<br>
So, for example, I wouldn't be too surprised if the {Dojmey} were originally {Dochmey} that she claimed to be working to retrieve.<br>

<div dir="ltr">Perhaps it's my ignorance, but most of this is gibberish to me. For instance, {ghach jIvvo' naH}: /Fruit from is ignorant -ation./

{potlhmo' batlh, vIqawba'.} /Because honor is important, obviously we remember it./ (or him/her/them... the context makes it unclear to me)</div>

<div class="gmail_extra">There are plenty of words and apparent words I can't find in any reference, like jIvuylaH: I can {?vuy}. Also {?ve'} {?yI'} {wID} {peq} {chIw} {?chI} {chuD} {lIb} {bam}, and the closest I can come to making sense of {vInDa'ma'} is /our
cousin-corporal/.</div>
<div class="gmail_extra">There are also verbs with noun suffixes, {jIvvo'}, {Dojmey} and {vum'e'}, and suffixes unattached to root words, {ghach} and {Hey}.</div>
