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*.
