[Tlhingan-hol] tlhIngan Monopoly vISuq rIntaH!

[André Müller]

Sorry SuStel,
But some of us.INCL keep words that are imagined plausible translation of
words distinct from words that are found in the dictionaries or can be seen
in the English versions of canoncial phrases. I do so, and perhaps voragh
does that too.

Anyways, my lexicon entry is:

ngIp (vt.), borrow, hire; rent*

(* marks my own additions which I might be looking for when searching for
words in my dictionary)
