On the one hand, you're probably better off phrasing it so that you can use
"-vIp", when that's possible. It's likely the Klingon way of looking at
things. But -vIp really only talks about fear of doing something, so it's
not all that flexible. I had the same problem in Jonah, until someone
pointed out a useful word to me:
"Haj"
Use it well.
