This is a rare two-syllable verb.

gheyIl:
Do we know for certain that &lt;ghIpDIj&gt; (court-martial) is a verb, and this is not 
an error in TKD?
We know there were other errors. Has it ever been used in canon to support the 
verb definition?

<pre style="font-size: 9pt;"><tt>Voragh:
</tt></pre>AFAIK it's never appeared in canon.  I don't have a paperback TKD with me; is 
&lt;ghIpDIj&gt; listed as a verb on both sides of the glossary (English-Klingon, 
Klingon-English)?  Has anyone ever asked Okrand about this?
