It seems e-mails to the stodi.digitalkingdom.org address don't show up in the archive, so just figured I'd do a Reply All to tlhIngan-Hol at KLI.org for future reference.

Here is a link to the transcript of the dialogue sent by De'vID: http://www.kli.org/tlhIngan-Hol/2013/November/msg00041.html

Here is the clip where this dialogue is heard: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K0cFLb-JmaQ

However, to the best of my knowledge, {jIve'} and {jIvuy} never made the final cut.

ghItlhta' Qov, 
> a new meaning for naH with a meaning almost identical to naS?

I was wondering if it could be a mispronunciation of {neH}, since we have the two rather similar word sequences {ghach jIvvo' naH} and {'ej chIvo' neH}.

Anyhow, some very interesting revelations!

ghItlhta' De'vID,

toH! ghach mu' chu'!

David has already done a good job showing other examples on how to use
them, here just follows a list of explanations we got from Maltz.
These were printed in this year's qepHom-booklet.

Qapla',
   Lieven.
--------------------------------------------

bam
v. face, have the prospect of having to deal with

chIvo'
n. total dishonor, absolute lack of honor

chIw
v. express, embody, exude, epitomize

chuD
n. people, kin, member of the same group or tribe or clan (very similar
to vInDa')

Dojmey
n. mass, masses, multitude, a very large but indeterminate group of
something (people or otherwise)
This word is derived from Doj batch, pile, heap, accumulation plus -mey,
the general plural suffix.  Even if referring only to beings capable of
using language, one would normally not say Dojpu'.)

ghach
v. lurk, lie in wait, lie low (ready to ambush, for example; hidden but
posing a threat)

Hey
v. battle or fight against one's own group (not the supposed enemy)

jIvvo'
n. criminal, villain, malefactor
This word is similar to HeSwI' criminal.  HeSwI' is used to refer to
someone who breaks a law; jIvvo' connotes, in addition, being evil.

lIb
v. be impending, imminent, loom

naH
v. be hostile, malicious, unfriendly, antagonistic

peq
v. slaughter (connotes intention, targeting specific victims)

ve'
v. travel with a purpose, for a specific reason; travel on a mission.
Opposed to leng, which is travel with or without a special purpose.

vInDa'
n. compatriot, community member, cohort, fellow citizen

vum
n. contemptible or despicable person, scumbag, bastard

vuy
v. be helpful, supportive

wID
v. massacre (connotes indiscriminate killing)
