The letter m is always lower-case; and in this situation q should be Q.
maj means "good" as an exclamation; not as a verb.
majQa' - read the dictionary page 57 or 94 or 135, right near maj.

SonchIy - TKD p184, yes it has to do with the succession ceremony / death
ritual for a leader. I heard this also. Apparently the writer, actor, or
whoever was responsible probably remembered hearing it and thought it
sounded cool. It was used a few times...

**"Cloaking device engaged. Death ritual. He sins. He skins him." ?
This is from the recording Archer plays for Hoshi.
When they have the klingon in sickbay,
Hoshi: "He's asking for his ship back."
Archer: "Say it was destroyed."
Hoshi: "SonchIy."
