This is a bad one!

{QoS} is listed as "sorry, to be sorry"

Since Klingons do not say "hello", "thank you" or please, I'm sure they won't say "I'm sorry" either, in the 
sense of an excuse.

When I looked it up in a dictionary, I found the word "betrübt, bekümmert, erbärmlich" which is in 
english something like "be sad", "feel bad", "aggrieved", "miserable".

(I'm specifically looking over to our german Klingonists around here, who might find a better word for 
me)

Quvar.
