"be inferior" is {QIv},
"be superior" is {nIv}.
The list of vocabulary to study for the Klingon Language Certification 
Program is given at:
http://higbee.cots.net/~holtej/klingon/guidelines.htm
However, the Klingon definitions aren't given there. If you added the 
Klingon words to your copy of this list, or if someone else did and then 
gave it to you to study, they probably just switched the two words by 
accident when they were adding the Klingon words to the English list. If 
the latter, you may want to let that person know, so that they don't 
accidentally give others a list with the words switched.
