FYI mayqel, in addition to {DIlmeH Huch}:
Dochvetlh DIlmeH Huch 'ar DaneH
How much do you want for that? TKD
there's a noun from Klingon Monopoly (MKE): {qav'ap} "value, rent, sum, etc." The basic idea seems to be a specific amount of money owed or agreed upon:
voHDajbo' qav'ap
mortgage value MKE
HoSHal ghajchugh vay', mI' naghmey tIronmoH. wa'maHlogh
boq'egh mI' naghmey; chen qav'ap. ghajwI'vaD qav'ap yIDIl.
If [energy source is] owned, throw dice and pay owner a total
ten times amount shown. MKE
pIraqSIS HoS waw' ghajlu'chugh, loSlogh boq'egh mI' naghmey
mI'; chen qav'ap
If Praxis Energy Facility is owned, rent is 4 times amount
shown on dice. MKE
Duj ghajchugh vay', cha'logh boq'egh qav'ap motlh; chen
qav'ap le'. ghajwI'vaD qav'ap le' yIDIl.
If [ship is] owned, pay owner twice the rental to which
they are otherwise entitled. MKE
Notice the idiom:
ghajwI'vaD qav'ap yIDIl
pay owner the amount (of money)
ghajwI'vaD qav'ap le' yIDIl
pay owner the special amount (of money)
Hmm... What makes a {qav'ap} special {le'}? Maybe "specific amount"??
Another new economics noun from qepHom 2015 is {ghogh'ot}:
(MO > Lieven (10/29/2015)): Here are some more words related to paper: a letter, that is a message written on a sheet of paper and sent to someone is a {nav QIn} ... A bill, a payment request, something you must pay, is a {ghogh'ot}.
