:In KLINGON FOR THE GALACTIC TRAVELER, Okrand says that
:when verbs of quality are used imperatively, they normally
:use /-'egh/ and /-moH/. They only lack these in the idiom
:/yItaD/ "Freeze!" which means "Stop moving!" (Perhaps there
:are other idioms or situations in which you'd leave off the
:/-'egh/ and the /-moH/, and no doubt someone will point out
:some line by Okrand in which this was done, but KGT makes it
:pretty explicit that when verbs of quality are used
:imperatively and non-idiomatically, they are also
:reflexive and causative.)

: [...] on PK (opening scene), the terran says {yIjotchoH}
: "become calm".
: Although there is a little difference, it's very close.
:
: "Be calm!", i.e. "Calm down"
: yIjotchoH "change to be calm"
: yIjot'eghmoH "cause yourself to be calm"
:
: In both cases, the adressee has to change from "not calm" to "calm".
: If the person is calm already, these sentences are not the best.
:
: I suggest:
: "Be calm!", i.e. "Stay cool."
: yIjottaH "be continuously calm"
