Don't forget {yon} "be satisfied".

QeS:

What's wrong with {belmoH} "please (someone)" or better still {yonmoH}
"satisfy"? We have an example of the first in a similar context (at the
courtship stage) in "Power Klingon":
qabelmoH'a'
Do I please you? PK
So, something like:
qayonmoHpu''a'
Did I satisfy you?
qabelmoHta''a'
Have I pleased you?
naHQun:

Since we're all fumbling around in the dark -so to speak- how about
{belpu'ghach} (translated "having been pleased" in HQ 3.3)? You know, this
may well be the place to use the "marked term" {belghach} "pleasureness"
Okrand mentions in the same article.
