Thank you Lieven for sharing the new words :)

I'd like to ask one quick question though:

[ngoy'] is also listed as meaning "be responsible" and the boQwI' gives us an example from TKW p155

vangDI' tlhIngan SuvwI' ngoy' qorDu'Daj, vangDI' qorDu'Daj ngoy' tlhIngan SuvwI'

What's the difference between [rang] and [ngoy'] in meaning and usage? 

Thanks in advance!

I'm going to guess the difference is in the object it can use. You can say Duj rang HoD but not *Duj ngoy' HoD, though you can say Duj rang HoD; ngoy' HoD. But then, you can also say just rang HoD. I wonder if Okrand forgot we had ngoy'.
