{Qub} is surprisingly rare in canon, only appearing as examples in grammatical explanations. (Does it occur in paq'batlh?):<br>
<br>
... 'e' DaQub'a'<br>
Do you think that...?" (st.k)<br>
<br>
tlhIngan Hol Dajatlh 'e' vIQub<br>
I think that you speak Klingon" (st.k)<br>
<br>
Qubchu' tlhIngan SuvwI'<br>
The Klingon warrior thinks clearly. KGT<br>
<br>
<br>
st.klingon: The correct way to say "Do you think that...?" is {... 'e' DaQub'a'?} ({'e'} is "that", referring to something that precedes it in the sentence or in the discussion; {DaQub'a'} is "do you think it?".<br>
<br>
st.klingon (7/01/97): All four words asked about... can be used in the construction {S 'e' V}, where S is a sentence, {'e'} is the pronoun (that) which refers to a previous topic (in this case S), and V is one of the verbs listed above (as well as some others). If the sentence (S) is {tlhIngan Hol Dajatlh} "you speak Klingon", it's OK to say... {tlhIngan Hol Dajatlh 'e' vIQub} "I think that you speak Klingon".<br>
<br>
KGT 148f.: Literally "be vertical", this word [{chong}] is used to refer to one's intellect, as in {chong tlhIngan SuvwI'} ("The Klingon warrior is profound"--literally, "The Klingon warrior is vertical"). In its literal sense, this word is the opposite of {SaS} ("be horizontal"), and as a slang term, it is an opposite as well, as {SaS} is used to mean "be shallow, superficial" ... An equivalent meaning may be expressed without slang by using a word such as {Qubchu'} ("think perfectly, think clearly"), as in {Qubchu' tlhIngan SuvwI'} ("The Klingon warrior thinks clearly").<br>
