Klingon word: Se'vIr malja'
Part of speech: noun
Definition: publishing house
Source: found at the publisher's page of the paq'batlh; Added: 24 October 2011
_______________________________________________

(Lieven 10/24/2011 <- Okrand to publisher):  the Klingon phrase for publishing house is {Se'vIr malja'}.  {Se'vIr} is a publication of any kind (print or otherwise); it's a new word.  {malja'} means business.

PUN: 
('ISqu', 11/26/2011):  BTW at the qepHom'a' MO confirmed that {Se'vIr malja'} is indeed based on the name of Elsevier publishing company.

Do we have any more recent words for publishing or the book trade?
