It was a verb, not a noun; also, I don't see it as being a general
word for "kiss". Seems a cultural thing - Klingons bite where we would
kiss, but that doesn't mean that they call kissing "biting". They
probably have a word for this curious Human custom, if only so they
can make fun of it. Then again, Worf seems to have taken to it
rather well . . .

Yet another adverb you can invert with {-Ha'}.

I don't see this as any different from the given definition of
"bar, saloon, cocktail lounge".

I wouldn't call a phonetic transcription new vocabulary. :)
