postive:
"Klingonists argue at the qep'a'"
German: "erörtern, diskutieren, argumentieren"
negative:
"I'm argueing with my parents all the time"
German: "streiten"
[but that's quarrel: Sol]

Agreed. But it's Humans - especially Germans - who will look up the word and use it.
>This is the only example of {ghoH} in canon.
I think I got the difference
1. "negative"
Sol v. streiten
2. "neutral"
{ghoH} "argue, dispute"
The addition "dispute" makes clear that "argue" is not meant in the sense of discussion, right?
---> "argumentieren, diskutieren"
3.
ja'chuq v. discuss
Thanks for the hints.
I'll send my next questions ;-)
