>Klingon word:   poSmoH
>Part of Speech: verb
>Definition:     open

As used in canon:

   yIvbeHlIj neH DapoSmoH vIneH.
   The only thing I want you to open is your blouse. (ST5 notes)

   Heghpu'bogh tlhIngan mInDu' lupoSmoHlu'
   The eyes of the fallen Klingon are opened... S31

It is of course derived from {poS} "be open, opened":

   lojmIt poSDaq Daq pagh
   No one eavesdrops at an open door. PK

Cf. also the verbs {naw'} "access", {'el} "enter".

>Antonyms:  SoQmoH

As used in canon:

   Qorwagh yISoQmoH
   Close the window! KGT

Cf. also {ngaQ} "be locked, be sealed, be secured, be fastened".  Most 
recently we've heard {ngaQmoH}:

   yIngaQmoH
   Secure him. (ENT "Affliction")
