And one more new(ish) word I didn't notice: {So’chem} "cloaking field". The known {chemmey} are now:
ghe'chem terraforming field
HoSchem energy field
peQ chem magnetic field [2 words in TKDA]
pIvchem warp field
So'chem cloaking field
Surchem force field
tlhamchem gravitational field
Any more?

Thanks for forwarding these to the List. Here are some quick vocabulary observations.
New nomina agentis from existing verbs:
{lISwI’} “conditioner” from {lIS} “adjust, moderate” (v)
{chungwI’} “accelerator” from {chung} “accelerate” (v)
{tlhuDwI’} “emitter” from {tlhuD} “emit (energy, radiation)” (v)
{HISmoHwI’} “compressor” from {HIS} “be compressed” (v)
Expansions/new glosses for existing nouns:
{yIb} “inlet” from {yIb} “vent” (n)
{yu’egh} “waveform” from {yu’egh} “wave” (n)
And two completely new words (to me):
{meqHoD} “bypass” or “axis”? (n)
{SIl} “divert” (v) - which produces {SIlwI’} “diverter” (n)
Have these two appeared in recent qep’a’mey/qepHommey?
What exactly is the “Bird of Prey Workshop Owner's Manual”? It supplements nicely the {tlhIngan toQDuj 'ay'mey tetlh} “Klingon Bird of Prey Technical Callouts” poster.

Hello! Here is some information I have acquired from Maltz.
At the qep'a', I took the Cloaking Device phrases from the Bird of Prey Workshop Owner's Manual and presented those to Okrand. Okrand provided me with these translations (for some he did not have a translation as they were not really parts of the cloaking device according to Maltz):
6. Frequency Conditioner Inlet: Se’ lISwI’ yIb
7. Frequency Conditioner: Se’ lISwI’
8. Blast Debris Shield: DI yoD
9. First-stage Teleport Waveform Accelerator: yu’egh
chungwI’ wa’ [This is actually “primary waveform
accelerator”]
10. Axial Waveform Bypass Conduit: yu’egh meqHoD ’och
[This is actually just “waveform bypass conduit”]
11. Photon Spill Window: ’otlh tlhuDmeH Qorwagh
12. Second-stage Teleport Waveform Accelerator: yu’egh
chungwI’ cha’ [This is actually “secondary waveform
accelerator”]
13. Shield Energy Diverter: botjan HoS SIlwI’
14. Diverter Ion Sensor: SIlwI’ tat noch
15. Cloaking Field Emitter Monitor: So’chem tlhuDwI’ jIHwI’
16. Emitter Waveform Compressor: tlhuDwI’ yu’egh HISmoHwI’
17. Cloaking Field Emitter: So’chem tlhuDwI’
18. Structural Support Frames: qal’aqmey
