The Klingon Dictionary is a printed book which hasn't been updated for
23 years. If you're serious about getting another edition published,
we'd all appreciate the effort.

But, also, that's not how dictionaries work. An entry for a word
doesn't have to contain every single possible thing a word can be
interpreted to mean in a particular context. If it did, all
dictionaries would be enormous.

Think of a regular (Earth) bear. What Qov wrote had nothing to do with
Star Trek.
