Not much to go on there, since I don’t have yes QonoS, but here’s what I could scan on my iPhone with its limited OCR capabilities:
Additional Vocabulary
KLl Archives
One of the purposes of the RM is to establish and maintain a collection of works relating to Klingon language and culture. The following is an excerpt from an issue of veS QonoS, a newsletter published by Mortas-Te-Kaase, dated 1990. It was supplied by Tom Scheuer who, along with Marc Okrand, graciously provided permission for its reprinting in HolQeD. While a few of the items below were more formally published in last year's reissue of TKD, most of them will be new to you, and are a welcome addition.
The following word list was granted permission for publication in veS QonoS by the HolloD on 490/3.18 (Copyright 1990 Marc Okrand). Reprinting of this list in any other work is prohibited without the express permission of Marc Okrand.
[So, I’m not publishing the list, just the item in question and the paragraphs above offered for context.]

laser ‘uD’a’
Laser scalpel ‘uD Haqtaj
Again, there’s no explanation for the difference between {‘uD’a’} and {‘uD}, but then, we call both a laser pointer and an industrial metal-cutting laser a “laser” and maybe Klingons would call one an {‘uDHom} and the other an {‘uD’a’}. If the Reagan era fantasies of a satellite that could zap armies from space had actually been built, we’d still just call it a laser.
So, it makes sense that Klingons might have different names for different things that we’d have just one name for.

I noticed that KGT lists {'uD} for "laser" and HolQeD seems to have it
listed as {'uD'a'} originating in veS QonoS.
Is there any additional information on this difference?
Unfortunately, HolQeD issue 2 and 3 are the only ones I do not have in
my archives, so I could not look it up myself. (PS: any idea where to
get them?)
