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."
