{chegh} is listed as just "return" in TKD (in both K-E and E-K sides), and
also glossed as just "return" in the body of KGT. The definition "return
(to)" in the KLI new words list was obviously added to distinguish it from
{tatlh} "return (something)" when that word was revealed, presumably by
whomever was the maintainer of the list at the time. The "(to)" is there to
distinguish the meaning of "return" where the subject is going back to a
previous location (which is {chegh}), vs. "return" where the subject is
putting the object back to where something belongs (which is {tatlh}).
