Seeing <Daw'> (v) "revolt" made me think of an old Terran joke:

A: "Sir!  The peasants are revolting!"
B: "Yes.  And they're rebelling too!"

Of course the joke doesn't work in Klingon, but can anyone
think of a Klingon verb that has both a "state" and "action"
meaning, and which can be punned in a joke of this sort?

I found <Qay'> (v) "blow one's top" and "use the little toe"
(well, both of these are actions) but can't quite work this
into a joke.
