Short: no.
Long:
The KLI's presented system is a suggestion to collect words which they
will forward to Maltz, whi may answer the questions at the qep'a'.
Although the KLI supports the qepHom'a' and the qepHom'a' (i.e. its
teacher) is a member of the KLI, the word collection-system of the KLI
is absolutely not related to the qepHom'a', an having two systems of
that kind wouldn't be useful anyway.
The qepHom'a''s wish list has never had any organized system. THe words
that appeared there had primarily been wished by attendees (who usually
don't ask many things because they don't know what is lacking), some
were my own words I had asked for translation projects like The Little
Prince or Netflix. Sometimes I also add questions that arose from the
mailing list, from strange discussions that need clarification or direct
questions like when you asked for specific body parts. Sometimes Okrand
also includes words that were asked at the qep'a' but he didn't have a
solution for that at the time, or which were not really published
before, like the Pittsburg art tour words, or the chemistry terms.
....
I was thinking of making a public file at the wiki where people could
add their wanted words, but I realized that list would get very long too
soon, and then the question would be: Who is in charge to filter out the
relevant words to forward them to Maltz? (So perhapbs the KLI'S system
is indeed better, but I don't want to elaborate on that now)
So you (and anyone else) may of course give me your wish list, but as
usual, I cannot guarantee that Maltz will answer to them. And I admit
that I may pick out the interesting ones, so that Maltz is not
overwhelmed by the amount of words. (like he is not a doctor so has no
idea about different scientific names for muscles)
