<p>In the English–Klingon side of <i>The Klingon Dictionary,</i>
there are numerous entries for English words that one might look
up but which are <i>word + suffix</i> in Klingon. For instance,
one might want to look up <i>teach,</i> but if the E-K dictionary
only included words that led to Klingon stems, you wouldn't find <i>teach.</i>
So it includes <i>teach</i> and says that it's <b>ghojmoH.</b>
Likewise, you might want to look up <i>ocean,</i> but an ocean in
Klingon is a <b>bIQ'a',</b> so the E-K dictionary lists it that
way.</p>
<p>For symmetry, and because the extra information is sometimes
useful, the Klingon–English dictionary includes all of the entries
found in the E-K dictionary, even if they're not word stems in
Klingon. In the K-E dictionary you'll find separate entries for <b>ghojmoH</b>
and <b>bIQ'a',</b> even though these are really just <i>word +
suffix.</i> A native Klingon (non-translation) dictionary might
not list these words separately, but a translation dictionary
does.</p>
<p>Including an entry for <b>tlhapqa'</b> is just continuing this
trend. One might try to look up the word <i>retrieve,</i> but
since it's not a bare stem in Klingon but a <i>word + suffix,</i>
it appears as <i>word + suffix.</i> So the K-E dictionary is also
updated to include <b>tlhapqa'</b> <i>retrieve</i> (etc.)
because that's how it was done in TKD.</p>
<p>Even if you're using a lookup app instead of dictionary lists, if
you search for <i>retrieve,</i> you won't find it unless <b>tlhapqa'</b>
is a separate entry.<br>
