KLBC: expression of obligation

I couldn't find any way of expressing obligation in TKD. I thought there
would be
some type 2 suffixes for this, in the same way -nIS and -qang express need
and
will respectively, but it is not the case.

So what are the constructs used to express "must" and "ought" (which I expect
to be distinct in Klingon as they are in English)? Or is this a concept
unknown
to Klingons, so that they would rather use something as "be forced to"?
