[tlhIngan Hol] 'uD'a' laser

[Will Martin]

{‘uD} is in KGT in both the K->E and E->K sides. {‘uD Haqtaj} is not. {‘uD’a’} is not.

The current version of the KLI’s online New Words List doesn’t include listings for KGT, so it doesn’t include {‘uD} but it includes both other entries.

I don’t have KGT handy, so I don’t know whether {‘uD’a’} and {‘uD Haqtaj} were listed in KGT.  As a rule I only note the source for the first appearance of words revealed after TKD, and these first appeared in the veS Qonos fan letter.  Can someone check?
