KLBC: "to be"

I ran into a slight grammatical problem ;-)

in Klingon the verb "to be" is often left out in things like "I'm stupid"
{jIQIp} because "stupid" is also a verb that means "to be stupid"... but
with some things that just doesn't work.

"I'm a fool" {qoH jIH} will be easily understood when "to be" is left out,
but when it gets more complicated the whole structure of the sentence can
become unclear.

so, my question is, is there a Klingon verb that means "to be"?
