As used in canon:
HIHotQo'!
Don't touch me! CK
Okrand on startrek.klingon:
{Hot} means "feel, touch," not "feel emotions."
For the latter, we can use {DuQ} "touch (emotionally)" or {nong} "be
passionate".
Other verbs referring to specific types of physical touching include
{qotlh} "tickle" and {roS} "lick".
