Thanks for your corrections.

Generally, I must admit that this list you see there is not 100%
correct. It just cannot be. The problem for that is two things: First,
the starting numbers are not so accurate because there were too many
separate sources back then, and second the the question is what is
counted as a word or not. Especially when Okrand uses existing words to
define a new one, is that a word? And when he combines new words, is
each combination a new word? (is {tIrI'nIDaD tabey'gho je} one or two or
three words? In the Klingon Wiki, it generates 3 new entries)

But no matter what, its surely safe to say we have over 5,000 words.
