PUN: ('ISqu', 11/26/2011): BTW at the qepHom'a' MO confirmed that {Se'vIr malja'} is indeed based on the name of Elsevier publishing company.

Not that I know of, but the Klingon Language Wiki has a page on parts of the book: https://klingon.wiki/En/Books Oh, and a new word from qepHom 2025 is {'atSuj}: phase, stage (in a process) This is a broader term than mIw. Like mIw, a 'atSuj is one part of a larger process or project, and most often consists of several subparts, each of which is a mIw. 'atSuj may also mean "chapter (of a book)." In this sense, it resembles 'ay'. A book's 'atSuj may consist of a number of 'ay'mey, but a 'ay' of a book, unless it refers to a major division, does not contain a 'atSuj.
