Thank you for pointing this out. I wanted to say this, but didn’t want to cause any angst or stress over something that, truth be told, I’m not that invested in.

As they say in the South, {targh may'vamDaq, targh vIHutlh.}

Would it be okay to write the following inthe Wiki?

It seems that {chorgh} /be glossy/ refers to texture while {boch}} /be
shiny/ refers to how light is being reflected. There is an overlap in
meanings, because glossy things can be shiny, but not everything that is
shiny has to be glossy.

Why not just leave it to glossy and shiny and not try to editorialize what words mean? People have access to dictionaries.

All this talk is not about the difference between the Klingon words chorgh and boch, but about the difference between the English words glossy and shiny. Whether these words translate absolutely exactly is unknown.
