Maybe the definition mutated as it was passed along and/or misremembered. Or maybe Okrand glossed it in slightly different ways to different people. [...] 'ISqu''s notebook is the source of the definition in {boQwI'}
Thanks for the source. On her page, 'ISqu' wrote that it was written by Okrand (mu'vam chu' ghItlhta' Holmaj pIn'a'), so I think I'll prefer this as a main definition, even remembering that other definitions *might* have been passed as well.
The *word* itself was written by Okrand, but note that the *definition* was written down by Lawrence Schoen. As noted by Voragh above:
('ISqu' 8/11/2007): The word Okrand wrote in my notebook during last year's qep'a' [i.e. 2006] was spelled {'elI'jaH}. The English translation, written by Lawrence below the Klingon word, was "unexpected visitor".
