It's from Klingon for the Galactic Traveller (KGT) p.232:

  <'op>  some, an unknown or unspecified quantity (n.)

Look again: TKD p.109:

  <ta'>  accomplish (v.) 

Also look at TKD p.172 (right before the Addendum) in the Appendix: "A
Selected
List of Useful Klingon Expressions":

  <vIta'pu'be'>  "I didn't do it."
