At this year's qepHom, we received lots of new words. Some of them were
wishes by qepHom attendees and others. Others were used in Andrew
Miller's Art presentation in a Museum of Pittsburgh, which happened on
the same weekend. Marc Okrand gave me the list in english alphabetical
order, so for reading convenience I re-arranged them in a somehow
logical order.
This list talks about art
---begin quote---
"Klingon for the Galactic Traveler" (p. 79) says there is no single word
for "art" or "artwork." This refers to visual art (painting, sculpture,
etc.). {meHghem} ("arts, the arts, culture") is a bigger, more
comprehensive term covering "the arts" or "art" as opposed to "science."
So it includes music, theater, dance, etc. as well as visual art. It's
"culture" in this sense.
Similarly, {vIqraq} ("artifact, work of art") is more general than a
visual piece of art. It covers that, but also an artifact (not in the
archaeological sense), handicraft, gizmo, gadget, contraption, machine,
device, etc. – that is, something manufactured/made.
shape, form, appearance, configuration (n.) tu'qom
poem (n.) ghuQ
pane, panel, sheet (not for bed) (n.) vol
jazz (music) (n.) (loanword from DIvI' Hol) jeS / jeS QoQ
juggle (objects, not tasks) (v.) jaDchu'
mosaic (n.) majyang mIllogh

[note: Klingon words were written in bold face. I've added brackets for
format-free emails]
