naDev nuq 'oS CHUM'e'? DIvI' Hol <<chum>> Da'oSchugh, KGT yIlaD:
The word {jup}, however, does not necessarily connote a close
friend. For this, one may add the noun suffix {-na'} ("definite")
to the word and say {jupna'} ("real friend, good friend") <...>
In addition, however, there are some other terms used for very
close friends, and the correct usage depends, among other things,
on the gender of the speaker and the addressee. The word {maqoch},
sometimes translated as "buddy" or "pal", is used most often by
a male addressing another male who is a good friend <...> There
is a word that Klingon females use in a pattern paralleling the
males' use of {maqoch}. This word is {chaj}, a close female friend
of a female. As with {maqoch}, it is used only in addressing a true
friend. [KGT, pp. 202-03]
