{laj} "accept" + {-Qo'} "refusal"

"When taking a table's order, the {jabwI'} neither writes anything down nor 
enters data into a computer. It is considered the duty of the {jabwI'} to 
remember ({qaw}) the choices and to bring the correct food, and servers 
tend to be quite skilled at this. On the rare occasion when the {jabwI'} 
has remembered incorrectly ({qawHa'}), the patron may reject ({lajQo'}) the 
dish. If the patron rejects a dish that the server believes has been 
properly remembered, however, the misunderstanding could develop into minor 
combat. For most of the other diners in the restaurant, this is regarded as 
an exhilarating diversion." [KGT pp. 101f.]
