New word found in Episode 7 - "Magic to Make the Sanest Man Go Mad":

== woq ==
(verb) Appears to mean "confirm".

"Computer, confirm!"
{De'wI', yIwoq.}

"Identity confirmed."
{ghot woqlu'.}

Some transcribed words; unclear who authored them:

{buran} - "Buran" (name of Lorca's previous starship)
{ghormaghenDer} - "gormagander" (cosmozoan lifeform)
{'anISyum} - "anicium" http://memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/Anicium 
{yuryum} - "yurium" http://memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/Yurium


> == weS ==
> (verb) Used when describing the loss of a ship. However, it's unclear who the subject is: If it's the one losing the > ship, or the one taking it away or destroying it. Seems more likely to be the former, but it's uncertain.
> Used in Ep. 6 ("Lethe"):
> "Starfleet can't afford to lose the Discovery."
> {DISqa'vI'rIy weS 'e' SIQlaHbe' 'ejyo'.}

This week's episode gives further evidence that {weS} means something along the lines of "lose", with the subject being the one who is bereft of something something:

{poH wIweSlI'.}
= "We're losing time."

Later:
{noHmo' ghaH DaweSpu' reH 'e' DajatlhtaH ...}
= "You keep talking about how you lost her because of the war ..."

It's a typo and should be {qanQIy}. Robyn made this transcription, and
Marc Okrand has no (yet) vetted this.
