Hmmm . . . I checked out http://klingon.wiki/En/NumberOfWords and saw this:
Thanks for your corrections. Generally, I must admit that this list you see there is not 100% correct. It just cannot be. The problem for that is two things: First, the starting numbers are not so accurate because there were too many separate sources back then, and second the the question is what is counted as a word or not. Especially when Okrand uses existing words to define a new one, is that a word? And when he combines new words, is each combination a new word? (is {tIrI'nIDaD tabey'gho je} one or two or three words? In the Klingon Wiki, it generates 3 new entries) But no matter what, its surely safe to say we have over 5,000 words. -- Lieven L.
