Can {tlhogh} be a verb? I have it listed only as a noun.
It is now, or rather, it is again. Think of it like the old-fashioned verb "wed" in English. From Lieven's message yesterday: Maltz says that, more and more, he's hearing an older word, {tlhogh}. ... The noun {tlhogh} is quite common. It means "marriage," and it can be used for anybody marrying anybody. The verb {tlhogh}, however, was long considered quaint or archaic. Which is why only the noun was listed in TKD. Apparently it's making a comeback or, rather, it will be making a comeback (in the 24th century). To quote Chief O'Brien, "I hate temporal mechanics!" <g> -- Voragh
