Here is a handy lexicon for Andorian words:

kharakom Often described to humans as "boxing"
hleshvalath Most Andorian fighting styles employed direct force, with the exception of this wrestling style which emphasized grappling and restraint of the opponent - utilizing slams, joint-breaks, and bear hugs in a quick, brutal and efficient manner
alnaav A rare and powerful martial arts style that required a level of discipline and dedication rare even among Andorians
shoshi Equivalent of "cool" or "awesome", metaphorically swift/speedy (not slang)

gabavga The full bladder and intestines of a "gabav." Best when served piping hot with a frosty mug of Andorian blue ale.

jath’shola (A person who “is the essence” of shola) is a loving, “soulful” person
feli Someone who was passionate in the more standard sense
