   Klingons kill for their own purposes. TKW

   ngoQvam luchavmeH ghawran maghpu' be'nI'pu'. woQ luSuqmeH
    jIjpu' chaH romuluSngan'e' je.
   To this end, the sisters have acted against Gowron, going as
    far as to work with Romulan factions in order to gain power. S26

   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)

Cf. also the noun {lo'} "use, worth".
