Good question. Since it is listed as a "to be" type verb, I
would expect that it could be used as such, though I'd have a
little trouble translating it smoothly into English.
"Problematic" would probably be the polite way to translate it,
much like translating {Qu'vatlh} as "Darn it." This is the kind
of nit-picky thing I wish we could just ask Okrand.
