Maltz says that, more and more, he's hearing an older word, tlhogh. (I don't know how he's hearing this "my basement isn't really equipped for extraterrestrial communicatio" but I certainly believe him.) The noun tlhogh is quite common. It means "marriage," and it can be used for anybody marrying anybody. The verb tlhogh, however, was long considered quaint or archaic. But it's being used with increased frequency. It means "marry" and, like its noun counterpart, it can be used by both partners regardless of sex/gender, so it's used for male-male marriages, female-female marriages, and everything else. Use of this word lacks the yin-yang connotation of Saw and nay, but it's well suited for expressing what the folks getting married are up to. Depending on what you want to say, both tlhogh and tlhoghchuq are heard: B tlhogh A "A marries B"; tlhoghchuq A B je "A and B marry each other." But some Klingons also say Sawchuq and naychuq. The choice seems to be whatever the folks getting married prefer.
