Used in canon:

   bISuv 'e' yIwIv; bISutlh 'e' yIwIvQo'
   Choose to fight, not negotiate. TKW

   nuHlIj DawIvpu', vaj yISuv
   You have chosen your weapon, so fight! TKW

   qawIv
   I choose you. KLS

Related verbs:

{ngu'} "identify" & {per} "label".  See also {maS} "prefer" & {qaq} "be 
preferable".

I've often seen {wIv} used for "vote for" (a political party, i.e. {tlhach} 
"faction").

>Homonyms:
>     wIv (noun) - choice

Never used in canon.

Related nouns:

{DuH} "possibility"; {'eb} "opportunity, chance, opening"
