Interesting; according to my notes, these are the words we'd learned from the 'u' libretto prior to this year's qep'a':

maQ = signal (sign that some action should be taken) [ http://www.kli.org/tlhIngan-Hol/2010/July/msg00068.html http://www.kli.org/tlhIngan-Hol/2010/July/msg00078.html ]
ruS = bond [ http://www.kli.org/tlhIngan-Hol/2010/July/msg00045.html ]
qamchIy = Qam-chee [ http://www.kli.org/tlhIngan-Hol/2010/August/msg00020.html ]
qortar = Kortar [ http://www.kli.org/tlhIngan-Hol/2010/August/msg00020.html ]
SIqral = Skral [ http://www.kli.org/tlhIngan-Hol/2010/August/msg00020.html ]
tlheng'IQ = thranx [ http://www.kli.org/tlhIngan-Hol/2010/August/msg00020.html ]

Looking forward to checking it out for myself this weekend at qepHom :)

Apparently Kortar {qortar} appears in the ('u'} libretto and possibly in the paq'batlh.  Here's what little I have in my notes:


He's mentioned many times in the paq'batlh, and his name is spelt qotar in it.

In the book there is a river of blood beneath Mount Kri'stak (QIStaq) which goes to both ghe'tor and Suto'vo'qor. qotar is able to navigate to either with his boat.

The River SIqral is mentioned during the fight with Molar; apparently it's red from the blood of all the warriors that were killed at it's banks.
