Another common way to say that a specific piece or performance of music
has a particularly strong effect on a listener is to employ the verb {DuQ}
(literally, "stab"): {muDuQ bom} ("The song stabs me," or, in a more
colloquial Federation Standard form, "The song moves me"). (KGT 71-72)
Food also resembles music in that if it affects one in an especially
positive way--that is, if the food particularly satisfies the eater--one
may say {DuQ Soj} ("The food stabs him/her"). (KGT 84)]
A related quality is {nong} "be passionate", at least WRT people.
Don't confuse this with {Hot} "touch, feel" [physically]:
{Hot} means "feel, touch", not "feel emotions". (st.klingon)
or "move emotionally" with {vIH} "move, be in motion".
