jang ghunchu'wI':
: _Klingon for the Galactic Traveler_, reveals a distinction:
: {yeq} means "cooperate", and {jIj} means "be cooperative".
In the discussion of the slang term {qang} "always agree with (someone),
always go along with (someone), always cooperate with (someone)" in KGT
p.159, we are given the following as a non-slang equivalent:
reH jIj "always be cooperative"
{jIj} also shows up as a morpheme in {yuQjIjDIvI'} and {yuQjIjQa'}, both
meaning "The United Federation of Planets" (the "Federation" {DIvI'} for
short). Like {yeq} and {jIj}, one appears in the English-to-Klingon side of
the glossary, and the other in the Klingon-to-English. {yeq} has never been
used in canon.
