[tlhIngan Hol] Klingon Word of the Day: 'eng (noun)

[Steven Boozer]

This is all I have in my notes:
  "(qurgh < Okrand, qep'a' 2016)" -- meaning Okrand spoke to qurgh et al. at qep'a' 2016, and qurgh (probably) posted it to the Mailing List.

I did find two other similar notes:
  "When asked for a way to describe a sunny day, Maltz used {wov} be bright." (qurgh < Okrand, qep'a' 2016)
  "To say something has a duration of, or lasts for, some time, use {taH}" (qurgh < Okrand, qep'a' 2016)

I usually record the date they were posted but not these for some reason.  It's possible these were reported third-hand.

I just checked the wiki for new words from the 2016 and 2017 qep'a'mey. I read that pages 8 and 9 of the qep'a' booklet discussed weather.  These may have come from there.  See https://klingon.wiki/En/NewWordsQepa24

I'd like to have my notes correct, so please help:

According to my notes, the phrase below was explained at qep'a' 2017, not 2016. But when I checked my own lists, I couldn't find that information on either list. Any websearch isn't helpful either.

So where did it come from?
