Andrew:
>>teen, adolescent, youth, young adult: nenHom (adult-DIM)

{nen} means "be adult" as a verb, but {-Hom} is a noun suffix.

No, it can't. {nen} as a noun means "growth, maturation". {nenHom}
would refer to a kind of growth or maturation which is less than
regular growth or maturation.

(It might be the Klingon translation of the title of the TV show
"Arrested Development".)
