It's a simple misspelling of {buQ}, that's all.
However, I recently made myself a set of "quick reference" sheets including
the "Useful Klingon Expressions" from TKD's Appendix, along with all of the
proverbs from TKW. TKW page 7 says {DabuQlu'DI' yISuv.} "When threatened,
fight." That tells us that one threatens a person. It doesn't tell us not
to use it to threaten to do something, but it does suggest that my sentence
might not be correct, even after fixing the typo.
