A third category of Klingon instrument is the SuSDeq, the "windbag" or
"bellows" type. A SuSDeq has a flexible bag, usually made of animal skin,
which is alternately filled with and emptied of air. This air passes over
strips of various materials (joQmey), which vibrate as the air goes by,
producing the musical tones. For one form of SusDeq, the may'ron, the
player stretches the bag out to fill it with air and squeezes it together
to empty it while directing the flow of air by pressing buttons mounted
on boards on either end of the bag, much like an accordion. To finger the
may'ron--that is, to push the buttons--is to Heng, the same word applied
to the meSchuS. To alternately squeeze and stretch out the bag part of
the may'ron is to rey. Another type of SuSDeq, the DIron, resembles and
is played much like bagpipes. The verb that means "squeeze the bag part
of the DIron", usually with the elbow, is qeb. (KGT, 75-76)

Kiss her now!
Although we don't have any separate verb for "kiss", Okrand supplied this
