Where does KLITRANS get its vocabulary list? It recognizes {nIqHom}
"software", which was introduced to us in the same {DI'ruj velqa' nIqHom}
phrase from which we learned {DI'ruj} "reality", so it can't just be a
simple matter of being out of date.

To verify the spelling of a Klingon word that isn't in TKD or KGT,
http://www.kli.org/about-klingon/new-klingon-words/ is a good place to look.


If KLITRANS is prepared to suggest <'ruj> as a syllable, or accept a Type 9
verb suffix at the beginning of a word, then I have to consider it faulty,
even before worrying about the completeness of its lexicon. I also have to
wonder why it doesn't propose analyzing {nIqHom} as an unknown <nIq> with
the Type 1 noun suffix {-Hom}.
