This is a good situation to remind of the mailing lists rules to mark 
selfmade, non canon words:  jIghItlhmeH *quja'* vIlo' vIneH.

 From the FAQ:
----------
Over time, we have generally settled on these practices on the mailing 
list, not as a matter of policy, but as a convention. Posts are not 
strictly held to the conventions shown here, but if you use this system 
you will be more readily understood.

Curly braces  	{tlhIngan Hol} 	Klingon words in English text
Quotes 		"English" 	English words in Klingon text
Angled brackets <<quote>> 	Quoting spoken words in Klingon text
Asterisks 	*mu'qoq* 	indicates Klingon spelling of a non-canon word
Single Asterisk *pong 		indicates a Klingon name that's not canon
----------

It makes it clear for beginners to recognize words they won't find in 
the dictionary.
