Qov had actually used <'IvtIH> in her story at some point. The sentence was <'IvtIHDu'Daj 'uch Mahoun>, so I inferred it was a body part. ghunchu'wI' appeared to know it, so I wrote it down as a new word. This was before the qepHom.
At the qepHom, I happened to talk to 'ISqu' about this word, and she showed me a list of five words she'd typed out from a previous qep'a', under the title <porgh 'ay'>: the above four plus <lev> which I already had in my own dictionary. All five words were parts of the body. She also had definitions. However, I didn't want to post the definitions I copied from her, since our definitions of <lev> differed slightly: my notes say "n. hard palate, roof of mouth (source: qep'a' 12)", and her definition simply said "n. palate". So she may have abbreviated her definitions, or perhaps my source had elaborated it (link: http://klingon.livejournal.com/26647.html, from http://www.kli.org/tlh/newwords.html).
If someone else has seen the above four words before, please post the definitions you have. Otherwise, I'll post the ones I copied from her in a little bit.
