: Consider -Ha': 'undo; wrongly'.  TKD's example of the second sense 
: is 
: 
:     bIjatlhHa'chugh
:     if you say the wrong thing
: 
: I have been looking at more ways to use this sense of -Ha'.  You 
: can use it to refer to waste: 
: 
:     poH vIlo'Haqangbe'.
:     I don't want (am unwilling) to waste (misuse) time.
PK: >HoS li' Dalo'Ha'chu'< -- "You are a total waste of good energy!"

: 
:     yInbe'wI' QeHHa'be' vajna'.
:     A true warrior does not waste anger on the inanimate.

: 
: With qIm 'pay attention', it can refer to distraction: 
: 
:     SuvchuqtaH qama' 'e' qImHa'pu' 'avwI'.
:     The guard was distracted by prisoners fighting (among 
:         themselves).
Not quite. This would mean "the guard was distracted from the prisoners'
fighting". I think you want >'avwi' qimHa'moHpu' qama' SuvchuqtaHghach<.

: Recently there was a discussion of how to translate "bug" in the 
: programming sense.  I didn't read the whole discussion, so I don't

:     bug [programming]
: 
:     bIghunHa'.
:     Your programming is buggy. / You are putting a bug in your 
:     program.
