This is an attempt at creating a list of known errors in
printed and recorded Okrandian canon.
I have not included notes on Marc Okrands various newsgroup
postings, nor anything concerning the Star Trek: Klingon CD-ROM game, or
any of the SkyBox Klingon Trading Cards, however this may change in the future,
and so if you know of any errors, in any Okrandian source (not just the
ones mentioned below) I would be happy to include that information here. Please
contact me at <zrajm@klingonska.org>.
Those of you that speak German might be interested to know that
there is a similar project going on for Das offizielle Wörterbuch
Klingonisch, (i.e. the German translation of The Klingon
Dictionary). To find your way there, take a look at the link page.
Christian Matzke notes (in HolQeD 4:1, p.7) that jevstorm (v) (as defined in TKD K-E) perhaps ought to be a noun, but I have
chosen not to include it as an error here, since there are other words
dealing with weather (namely SISrain and peDsnow)
that are verbs, this suggests to me that jev really should be a verb, as
stated in TKD.
It is also worth mentioning that the word lists in TKD are
incorrectly sorted in quite a number of places. However the divergences from
the expected order are so small (most frequently only two or three words are
missorted) that they do not in a significant way impede the reader's chances of
finding the word he/she is looking for.
Thanks go to Yehuda Ronen () and Stevo ( &
) for their contributions.

Words Found Only in the English–Klingon Dictionary Part
There are some words that occured here for the first time.
The ones that I have discovered are listed below, note however, that I have
made no systematic search, and that there are bound to be more of them.
The spelling/pronunciation of the word QI'lop (the name of a
Klingon holiday) from the tape is somewhat uncertain. This is due to the
fact that Michael Dorn (whose pronunciation isn't exactly unambigious) is
the only one speaking the word on the tape.
During the qep'a' chorghDIch (in Belgium, summer )
Marc Okrand mentioned that there are two different printings of this book.
Apparently a lot of errors were corrected for the second printing. (Since my
copy of the book is of the first printing, I haven't been able to confirm this,
so please if you have the second printing of the book, please compare it with
the table below and report any differences to me <zrajm@klingonska.org>.)
: According to Stevo <morphemeaddict@wmconnect.com>
all the errors in the 1st printing (or at least all errors found and presented
in the table below) have been corrected, except for the error on page 129
which, even though it was corrected, was not correctly so.
