Not surprisingly, there is no known word for "soap" (jabón).
IIRC Worf once declined an invitation to go swimming at a virtual beach on
the holodeck saying that it was "too much like bathing!" There is,
however, the slang term {HaH'egh} "soak oneself" which can refer to "such
activities as drinking a great deal, which has positive connotations, and
bathing, an occasional undertaking with negative connotations" (KGT, 91). <g>
BTW, all of the words Noel asks about are listed in "Klingon for the
Galactic Traveller" (New York: Simon & Schuster, 1997).
