As used in canon:

"ending a battle to save an empire is no defeat." TKW (p.211)
wo' ngay' bochoqmeH bowIvlu'pu'!
You have been chosen to preserve the glory of the Empire! MKE

> Huch choqmeHghach qang. "Building for saving money/bank (?)"
{pol} "keep, save, store" may be a better choice for keeping/saving money in a bank {beylI'}. As used in canon:
nuqDaq yuch Dapol
Where do you keep the chocolate? TKD
DapollaH pagh DapolHa'laH
You can either keep it or you can discard it. KGT
Soj polmeH pa'
food storage [locker/compartment] KBoP
polmeH jav QujwI' lIwmey
6 collectible tokens MKE
chaw'vam yIpol 'ej SIbI'Ha' yIlo' pagh 'oH yImech
This card may be kept until needed or traded. MKE
There's also a third verb - {toD} "rescue, save" - which has never appeared in a sentence. The distinction seems to be:
choq save (preserve intact)
pol save (keep/store for later use)
toD save (rescue)
