I've seen a few people use that meaning on the list, but I don't know of any
reason to believe it is correct. The fact that the English word "betray" has
a secondary meaning is no reason to assume the Klingon word <magh> does as
well. Unless you can point out a canon example I have overlooked, <magh>
only means "betray" in the sense of "act against".
