I was told that Okrand mentioned this at a convention in Halifax last
year and I have since read more mentions of similar statements by the
man himself :)
Was it not used recently in ST by a klingon? Apart from the argument that
he could have been speaking a local dialect in which nuqneH sounds like
Qapla' (it's a _joke_ :), it would indicate this use of Qapla' too.
