The most interesting word certainly is {nu'}. To show the difference: a {targhHom} is just a small targ, but a {targh nu'} can only refer to a "toy targ".
Okrand's words:
------ There's no noun Maltz is aware of like "miniature" (small model or version of something). {machqu'} is fine, but if you want to avoid it, you could use the verb {nu'} which means something like "be particularly small" and is often used of things that are smaller than the usual or expected size. In general, things that are {nu'} are smaller than those that are {mach} or even {machqu'} — but there's no hard line or specific rule. If/when it's appropriate, you could also make use of {-Hom}. ------
