Okrand has said that {muS}'s meaning is probably stronger than {par}, but
implies that their basic sense may be comparable, differing more in degree
than in quality:
"Interestingly (and bolstering the idea that "dislike" is a default),
there's also the word {muS} "hate" (which is presumably stronger somehow
than {par} "dislike")." (Okrand to alt.startrek.klingon, 2 Mar 1998)
As such, I would probably use {muSHa'} in something like {qagh vImuSHa'} "I
love gagh" or "I really like gagh". Or, in view of Okrand's comments on
{QuchHa'} in that same posting, even "I used not to like gagh, but have come
to love it".

Now you have me curious if "qaparHa' " would be inappropriate in your terms. lol That would be a little over board considering if you "like some one" so to speak, you literally like their presence... well, seems that wat to me in my case. lol
