{‘uD} is in KGT in both the K->E and E->K sides. {‘uD Haqtaj} is not. {‘uD’a’} is not. The current version of the KLI’s online New Words List doesn’t include listings for KGT, so it doesn’t include {‘uD} but it includes both other entries. charghwI’ vaghnerya’ngan rInpa’ bomnIS be’’a’ pI’.

That’s how I’ve always understood it.
I don’t necessarily think it’s an error, only that someone, sometime, somewhere thought it might have been – so I made a note of it. I don’t have KGT handy, so I don’t know whether {‘uD’a’} and {‘uD Haqtaj} were listed in KGT. As a rule I only note the source for the first appearance of words revealed after TKD, and these first appeared in the veS Qonos fan letter. Can someone check?

'uD laser (n) KGT sic for {'uD'a'} - an error from the "official charghwI' list" at the KLI web site [source?]
Why do you think this is an error, as opposed to just the same noun with the suffix {-'a'}?
'uD Haqtaj laser scalpel (n) (medical device) [HQ 1.3:9 < veS QonoS]
'uD'a' laser (n) [HQ 1.3:9 < veS QonoS]
If {'uD'a'} is the correct form, it begs the question: "What is {'uD}? Perhaps a beam of light? Or a smallish, low-power laser (suitable for surgical devices), with {'uD'a'} being the more powerful kind used in industry or as a weapon?
This is how I have understood the definitions, that {'uD} and {'uD'a'} both mean "laser", with the latter being a bigger, more powerful, or more important version of the former.
