> Klingon word: choH

As used in canon:
DaH Heraj yIchoH
Alter your course now. (ST5 notes)
HIvHe yIchoHmoH
Alter the attack course! ST5
ghopDu' choHpu' Qe'
The restaurant has altered hands. KGT
Language notes:
KGT 106f.: By the same token, literally translating a sentence such as "The restaurant changed hands" into Klingon, presumably as {ghopDu' choHpu' Qe'} ("The restaurant has altered hands") or perhaps {ghopDu' tampu' Qe'} ("The restaurant has exchanged hands"), does not tell the Klingon that the restaurant is now under new ownership, which is what the Federation Standard phrase really means.
Related words:
tam substitute
Dub improve
rach strengthen
lIS adjust
Note the homophonous noun {choH} "change":
choH lISbogh Hap'e': cha'pujqut
Reaction Moderating Element - Crystalline Dilithium. KBoP
