As always, creation of a word because it seems to make sense does not make
it a Klingon word.  Do I understand it?  Yes.  Does that make it right?  No.
Maybe it's right and maybe it's not.

There seem to have been a lot of "what's the word for" questions lately.  If
it's not a word that Okrand created, then there is no known word for it;
leave it untranslated or find another way to say it.  Or define a term for
local use only.

Ask us how to express concepts, not how to translate words.  Use the word
list to translate words.
