Here's the relevant text from KGT:
... there are several verbs for "fight", "battle",
and the like. Most broadly, "do battle" or "wage war"
-- that is, actually engage in a conflict in which a
number of of combatants are involved -- is <ghob>.
The notion of "make war" in the general sense,
referring to the *idea* of war and not a *specific*
war, is <Qoj>. The verb for "fight", whether in a
war or a one-on-one confrontation, is <Suv>.
> SuvwI', vaj (KGT, p. 50)
Similar to <ghob> and <Qoj>, <SuvwI'> refers to an actual warrior, while
<vaj> refers to the idea of a warrior, or "warriorness".
> voDleH, ta' (?)
Okrand has given no explanation of the difference (at least that I know of),
and I don't think the canon uses demonstrate any obvious difference.
