[Tlhingan-hol] Child-related vocabulary

[qurgh lungqIj]

I have a food picture book I made many years ago using images from the
Klingon Language Lab CD. It's about qeylIS eating different foods. I'll
have to dig it out and update it as I made it over a decade ago.

There aren't any plans to have pages with illustrated word groups
currently, but if you want to volunteer to spearhead such a project, I can
definetly help get it all on the website. :)

That goes for anyone with ideas for the new site. If you think we need
something, and you're willing to coordinate it, we can work on getting it
added.
