KLBC: maj/qab

I had understood that {maj} was used only as an exclamation ("Good!
Hah!  Yesss!"  Okay, maybe that last one is {majQa'}.) and not as a
verb meaning "be bad."  However, in CK, Okrand lists pairs of words,
such as {tIn/mach} ("big/small"), and includes {maj/qab} for
"good/bad," implying that {maj} is an antonym of {qab}.  Help.
