I'm having trouble figuring out some of the distinctions between the "stuck" verbs. mulIQmoHpu'.

What is the difference between DIy and ngItlh? It seems like the former is used for things that get stuck or jammed on their own parts, like a door and its frame, while the latter is for two things that are distinct and can theoretically move apart from each other. But I'm not sure I've really captured the difference there.

What's the semantic difference between HIr and ngam? Does HIr imply being held in place? Which word would be better used for, say, a gecko walking on a wall, sticking to it with its feet? My guess is that it would fall under the category of ngam.

I asked Marc about gher'ID:

As for {gher'ID} — All of the English words could be singular or plural, whichever makes the most sense given the context.  If, in Klingon, it's important to indicate plurality, use {-mey}; if it's important to indicate singularity, use {wa'} along with {neH} (or something along those lines).

------/quote

So, I'm thinking something like:

{pawta' gher'ID! loS qaD vIQappu' 'ach wej wa' gher'ID 'anglu'}
"The results are in! I won four challenges but one result is not yet revealed"

The new words that were reveled at qep'a' cha'maH vaghDIch are now available for all to see! 


If you spot any typos or issues, let me know!

Very nicely published, thank you.

You're welcome! 
 

gher'ID has some odd plurals in its gloss of results, outcome, effect, repercussions, consequence, ramification. Is there a reason some words like repercussions is plural while others like consequence are not?


That's how is was presented to us:

English: results, outcome, effect, repercussions, consequence, ramification (n)
Klingon: gher'ID
Notes: "results" with the sense of "score, tally" is {mIvwa'mey}

When I first saw it, I thought that it was referring the set of results of a single/collective action, which could be singular or plural. 

It could also be that they should all be singular. 

So I will reach out to Marc and ask him to clarify it.
