I am suspicious (STC:KLS)
Cp. the idiom {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)
Related verbs:
{nub} "be suspect"; {voqHa'} "distrust"; antonym {voq} "trust, believe

The Type 6 suffix {-law'} can sometimes be translated "I think that, I
suspect that".
