As used in canon:<br>

Accept these stuffed tobbaj legs! PK<br>
<br>
jIlajneS. ghIj qet jaghmeyjaj <br>
I accept. May your enemies run with fear." (TKW p.65)<br>
[This is the traditional acceptance upon being asked to serve as someone's {cha'DIch}. Cf. TNG "Sins of the Father"]<br>
<br>
beq may' ta vIlajpu' <br>
I have accepted the crew's record of battle. KGT<br>

ghopDu'wIjDaq yInmeyraj vIlaj <br>
I accept your lives into my hands. KGT<br>
<br>
As used in Trek:<br>
<br>
jIlajneS <br>
I'm honored to accept! (TNG "A Matter of Honor")<br>
<br>
"I have accepted discommendation." [Worf, TNG "Reunion" < ?{naDHa'ghach vIlajpu'} [idiom?])<br>
<br>
Cultural note re {lajQo'} "reject":<br>
<br>
KGT 101f.: When taking a table's order, the {jabwI'} neither writes anything down nor enters data into a computer. It is considered the duty of the {jabwI'} to remember ({qaw}) the choices and to bring the correct food, and servers tend to be quite skilled
at this. On the rare occasion when the {jabwI'} has remembered incorrectly ({qawHa'}), the patron may reject ({lajQo'}) the dish. If the patron rejects a dish that the server believes has been properly remembered, however, the misunderstanding could develop
into minor combat. For most of the other diners in the restaurant, this is regarded as an exhilarating diversion.<br>
