I love this word: {jonHa'}. It's one of those Klingon words which is simple
and direct, but it cannot be translated smoothly into English (at least, not
that I can see). "Allow to escape" is as close to the idea as I can come
without context, although "lost" works in the right settings. However,
{jonHa'} is just so *elegant*.
