Cp. {qagh Sopbe'} "He doesn't eat gagh!"
Everyone loves gagh, so if one is not eating it, something must
be wrong. This expression is used to mean that there is something
wrong with someone or that someone is acting suspiciously... For
Klingons...this is a rather mild dismissive remark, not a strong
insult. (TKW 137)

{nub} be suspect; {voqHa'} distrust

{voq} trust; cf. also {chun} be innocent & {DIv} be guilty
