I see seven people (both loDpu' and be'pu') have registered already.<br><br><br>We have 203 words listed in the chabal tetlh, 139 of which have a non-negative score, 134 of which have a score of at least 1, 122 of which have a score of at least 4, 104 of which have a score of at least 10, and 57 of which have a score of at least 20. However, a few of these are words like "England" and "fossil" that have already been coined before the 2020 qep'a'. We have lots of great word nominations this year -- furniture, blink, protein, lens, zinc, oval, blackmail, qubit, and more. Even the inherently funny word "spleen" looks like it's going to make it.<br><br><br>burnI' SanDas recently saud he made lots of lonely votes, but is "lonely no more". I've been a lonely lapwI' in my own way. I was the only person voting +1 on "tear", and more recently have been one of the few people voting +1 on "extinguish" and "marijuana".<br><br><br>Maybe at the 2020 qep'a' we can have ghaw' or pIpyuS pach instead of pItSa' chab! Any takers?</div><div><br></div></div></div></body></html>
