Never used in canon.

"Wrong" used in KGT:

   the characteristic patterns of younger people's speech, if
   noticed and commented upon, are more likely to be judged
   "sloppy" or "careless" rather than "wrong".    (KGT 138)

Cf. the slang word {bachHa'} "err, make a mistake" (KGT)

Cf. also {bIQ ngaS HIvje'} "The cup contains water":

   This idiomatic expression means "be quite mistaken, be
   totally wrong." (KGT 120)

Related verbs:

{Qagh} "err, be mistaken, make a mistake", {lach} "exaggerate", {nep} "lie"

>Antonyms: lugh

"be right, be correct"

Cf. also {qar} "be accurate", {teH} "be true", {vIt} "tell the truth"
