[Qov]

Note to future people: If you're searching for "nuq bop bom" in the 
archives, and failed to find yesterday's #185 it's because I 
accidentally gave it the subject line nuq bob bom and didn't want to 
spam the list with a correction. And whether or not you are from the 
far future, if you're searching for nuq bop bom in the archives you'd 
be better off reading it at http://nuqbopbom.blogspot.com unless at 
this point in the future blogging is over.

Last 'ay':
When Essim had told Mahoun of her father's dishonour she was unable 
to interpret his reaction, so asked Mahoun if he was angry.

[204] I was going to reject this as ridiculously unwieldy for "it had 
a floral flavour" but 'eSSIm is a biologist, so her musing on the 
characteristics of alien plants isn't out of character. I'm assuming 
we don't have a simple word "flower" because Qo'noS vegetation, like 
native Hawaiian flora, didn't evolve displays of scent and colour to 
lure insects for pollination.
[205] I was actually writing this sentence as 'ISqu''s mail 
announcing the new word arrived. It was originally {mumDI' Daj}.
