As used in canon:

   Suy' SoH
   You are a shooy. KGT

   Calling someone a {Suy'} is quite derogatory, comparable to using
   the word "pig" in Federation Standard. Mistakenly calling someone
   a {Suy} ("merchant") when the intent is to be insulting and call
   him or her a {Suy'} will have the effect of making the speaker
   appear to be foolish and, therefore, weak and hardly in a position
   to be ridiculing someone else.  (KGT 196)
