   bImoHqu'.
   You look terrible ("You're very ugly") TKD

   bImoH. 'oy' mInDu'wIj
   You're ugly. My eyes ache. KGT

{moH} is mentioned in CK in the section on expressing opinions of Klingon 
sites.

   The verb {moH} (literally, "be ugly") normally does not take an
   object. ... The word {bImoH}, with the prefix {bI-} ("you [no
   object]"), can mean only "You are ugly". (KGT 154)

N.B. {moH} can take an object, but only in its slang meaning of "exert 
undue influence on (somebody, something)".  (Cf. KGT 154 for details.)
