I suppose I should have included:

nub 			be suspect (v)
chun  		be innocent (v)
DIv 			be guilty (v)
pum  			accuse (v)
tem 			deny (v)
DIS 			confess (v)
naDHa' 		discommend (v)

pum  			accusation (n)
pIch 			blame, fault (n) [use for "guilt"?]


Hmm... we know rather a lot of legal terminology.  Well, trials always make for good television!
