"the warrior saw the scattered limbs laying on the battlefield", "the doctor tried to reattach the severed fingers", "she had ten pairs of fake eyelashes in her drawer", "prosthetic limbs aren't covered by the insurance for self-inflicted injuries"..
All of those examples are still body parts. Okrand made it quite clear: Body parts are body parts, and only if their meaning has changed to something else, a different usage, that is not considered a body part any more, than the suffix changes. The given example of the {veDDIrmey} clearly explains that they are not considered as a body part, they are seen like a material. If in doubt, just see it as an exception; Body parts remain body parts. A formatted version of the message is found here: http://klingon.wiki/En/Stk_1998-03-23b -- Lieven L.
