   wa'leS jIDoy'
   Tomorrow I'll be tired. CK

   jIDoy'qu'
   I am very tired. PK

   jIDoy'be'
    I am not tired! PK

   jIH Doy' law' SoH Doy' puS
   I am more tired than you are (HQ 13.1:10)

Cf. the phrase {mu'mey Doy'} "tired words" (used to refer to older 
Klingons' non-slang language [KGT 35]).

Similar verbs include {Qop} "be worn out", {qan} "be old (not young)", 
{ngo'} "be old (not new)", {notlh} "be obsolete" and {tIQ} "be ancient".
