: Klingon word:   choH
: Part of Speech: verb
: Definition:     alter, change

As used in canon:

  HIvHe yIchoHmoH!
  Alter the attack course! ST5 

  ghopDu' choHpu' Qe'
  The restaurant has altered hands.
  [Okrand says that this is a bad, though grammatical, translation
  for the idiomatic "The restaurant has changed hands." (KGT)]

Note the homophonous noun {choH} "change" (TKD) or "reaction" (KBOP):

   choH lISbogh Hap'e': cha'pujqut
   Reaction Moderating Element - Crystalline Dilithium. KBOP

and the derived noun {choHwI'} "thing which alters":

   HoS choHwI' 
   transtator TKD

N.B. Do not confuse either with the Type 3 verb suffix {-choH} "change in
state/direction".
