Hello list, I'd like to jump in here being the one who asked for the word for "wiki", i.e. {wI'qIy}. it is true that we are the people who invented the term of canon and definied that it's all spoken or written by Okrand. Marc Okrand sometimes makes a small mistake while speaking Klingon, and thn immediately says "oh no, that's not a word". But if somebody asks "What is the word for X?" and he answers with an entire email explaining the word, it can definitely be seen as a canon word, such as happened with the word {wI'qIy}. Saying that this word should not be in the list because it's a borrowed word, would eliminate many others, like the country names, food names and several animals. Talking about {qabpaq}, we may sure argue if that word makes sense because this was only a personal message to somebody, but still, MO did use the word. In addition, this is not really a new words, it's a compound noun that we should use. If Okrand uses a word, and even writes it down, it surely is canon. That's what we decided many years agom. By the way, the word {wI'qIy} and its spelling was published in a word list of qepHom 2017 among many others. The reason for it missing in the list seems to me that i had just been dropped by accident, because I can hardly imagine a KLI member editing the word list and decide which of the new words is canon, and which is not. Since we want to learn the language with all it has, we should also include all the words we have. -- Lieven L.
