[Tlhingan-hol] new word: "penguin"

[Bellerophon, modeler]

Coincidentally, I recently had the silly idea that the word for "penguin"
should be cha'peng (pl.cha'cha). peng rur jentu' QaltaHvIS.

Oh, well. Perhaps "penguin" is derived from Klingon.

PS: forgot to exult over list being back up again. maj!
