But... we do have a [SIQwI'] entry in the dictionary already.
"celebrant, recipient"

I
have been enjoying seeing the different options proposed. I
like both of these contrasting pairs:
chu'wI' / ngo'wI' -
newcomer / old-timer (proposed by
De'vID)taghwI' / taHwI' - beginner /
survivor (proposed by loghaD; seconded by
voragh)
I like
chu'wI'/ngo'wI' for its simplicity and
clarity, and its suitability to just about any context; I
like taghwI'/taHwI' for the same reasons, and also
because it is a minimal pair demonstrating the contrast
between gh and H, and really emphasizes proper speech, as
voragh mentioned. However, that could also be a source of
confusion, e.g. when listening to a poor quality recording.
The words are also indistinguishable from each other when
whispered.
I think if
the situation is appropriate, SIQwI' “endurer” might
be good. Perhaps it might even be appropriate
in a general sense. It can also take aspect suffixes
to indicate whether the experience endured is complete
(QI' SIQpu'wI' - one who has served in the
military and is no longer in active duty; a common use of
the word “veteran”) or actively occurring
(Quj'a' SIQtaHwI' - one who is experienced in a
sport and still participating in it; another common use of
“veteran”).
In
response to this note from Quvar:
PS: veteran in the military sense might be
{SuvwI' po'} or {SuvwI'
qan}.
tlhIngan SuvwI'pu' qan
tu'lu'be'.

How about bampu'wI'?
or:
bamta'wI'
bamchu'wI'
or what fine-tuning is appropriate.

I am trying to find a
pair of relatively simple words that I can use to label
people as the equivalent of rookies (it's their
first
time experiencing something) or veterans (they've
been
through it before).
I
like {chu'wI'} "newcomer", but I
can't
decide what to use as its counterpart. Have any of
you ever needed this kind of distinction, and if so, did
you
come up with anything satisfactory?
