Absolutely. There's no need to avoid using {ja'chuq} just because some
people don't like the word. Okrand has no problem with it:
ja'chuqmeH rojHom neH jaghla'
The enemy commander wishes a truce (in order) to confer. (TKD)
maja'chuqjaj?
Can we talk? (PK, though this phrase is not recommended!)
'uQ wISoppu'DI' maja'chuq.
We will talk after dinner. (PK)
Okrand wrote he would comment on {ja'chuq} soon on startrek.expertforum
or .klingon. Then, I hope, we'll all feel more comfortable using this.
