In Klingon, the noun {ngoQ} "goal, purpose" has been the object of the verb 
{chav} "achieve, gain, attain":

   tlhIngan ngoQmey chavmeH HoH tlhInganpu'
   Klingons kill for their own purposes. TKW

   ngoQvam luchavmeH ghawran maghpu' be'nI'pu'.
   To this end, the sisters have acted against Gowron...  S26

and the verb {nob} "give":

   lenglIj lutebjaj lengwIjvaD bel rap, Sov [rap, ngoQ rap je] Danobpu'bogh
   May your journey be filled with the same joy, wisdom, and purpose you have
   given mine. (Frasier)
