> Is there a *{Quj 'echletHommey} anywhere for "playing cards"?
No, surprisingly. Examples of {'echletHom} from Monopoly (MKE):
CHANCE 'echletHommey COMMUNITY CHEST 'echletHommey je qa'
quv 'echletHommey vIq 'echletHommey
je COMBAT and HONOR cards replace Chance and Community
Chest cards. MKE
cha'maH chorgh yer ghajwI' chaw' 'echletHommey
28 Title Deed cards. MKE
wa'maH jav quv 'echletHommey
16 COMBAT cards. MKE
'echletHom Dopvam yIcha'
card must be turned this side up MKE
But since we do have {Quj 'echlet} "game board" (MKE) and {QIn 'echletHom} "postcard" TNK, *{Quj 'echletHom} would not be unexpected. BTW a pack (i.e. a complete set) of such cards may well be called a {vey}. Cf.:
wa' tlhIngan QaS vey
one pack of Klingon Forces. MKE
("Klingon Forces" is what is used in the game instead of filthy lucre ["What are we? Ferengi?!"]:
Quj wa'DIch MONOPOLY Huch nav qa' tlhIngan QaS
Klingon forces replace original MONOPOLY bills. MKE )
