Used in canon:

   qaja'pu' HIqaghQo'
   HIqaghQo' qaja'pu'
   I told you not to interrupt me.
   I told you, "Don't interrupt me!"
   "Don't interrupt me" I told you. (TKD)

Related verbs:

   Another verb, {ghang}, is used to express the idea of a premature
   ending. If, using the same examples, the voyage is cut short or
   the song is interrupted before the final part is sung, one would
   say:

     leng [lu]ghangDI' SuvwI'pu' 'IQ chaH
     When the warriors end the voyage prematurely, they are sad.

     bom [lu]ghangDI' SuvwI'pu' tlhutlh chaH
     When the warriors end the song prematurely, they drink.

   Note that the voyage and the song cannot end themselves. Someone
   has to end them.  (HQ 12.2:8; sic! {lu-} omitted)
