As used in canon:

   wo' toy'taHvIS Hegh 'e' tul Hoch tlhIngan
   To die while serving the Empire is the hope of every Klingon. TKW

   tlhIngan Hol yejHaD Datoy'mo' pInaD
   Because you serve the Klingon Language Institute, we commend you. FMC

Do not confuse with {jab} "serve food" and {wech} "serve fermented food at 
its peak".

An antonym may be {tlhab} "be free, be independent".

The derived nouns are {toy'wI'} "servant" and {toy'wI''a'} "slave".
