Cool.  There's got to be a pun in {Se'vIr} but I can't see it!

Other useful words from the {Se'vIr malja'} - or book trade - include:

  {ghItlh}     	manuscript
  {paq} 	   	book
  {mem} 	   	catalog
  {malja' per}	trademark

For "issue (of magazine)" people have used {chovnatlh} "specimen" (KLI < Starfleet Academy #18 [special Klingon issue]) or {jabbI'ID} "data transmission" (Star Trek Communicator #104 [Aug-Sep 1995) special Klingon issue]):

 jarvam chovnatlh  current issue
 wen chovnatlh     past issues (i.e. of Qo'noS QonoS) KLI

 tlhIngan jabbI'ID le' Special Klingon issue
 (Star Trek Communicator #104)

{per} "label" has been used for "title" and {qonwI'} or {gherwI'} for "author".

{nargh} "escape, eject; appear" has often been used by the KLI and on this list for "publish".

And, as always, let's not forget that:
