majQa' - I was going to do the same thing, but decided against it in the first instance. More than happy to give a couple of them a shot though :)

ghItlhpu' nIqolay, jatlh:
> More words relating to weather, weather forecasting, and weather hazards:
> - Forecast (n/v), thunder (n/v), hail (n/v), cyclone/hurricane (n),
> tornado (n), blizzard (n or v), shelter (n/v), flood (n/v), tide (n),
> drown (v)

For "shelter" (n.), surely {lulIgh} "refuge" would be appropriate.
For the verb, {Qan'egh}, {So''egh}, {yoD'egh}... etc.

jangpu' Quvar, jatlh:
> For te other words, I guess they will be words combined with {'ul} and
> {SuS} ... I'm just guessing.

Remember also that we have the recent revelation of {pe'bIl} "lightning".
