Used in canon:

   Duy'
   It is defective. (STC:KLS)

Related verbs:

{Hutlh} "lack, be without"; {ngeb} "be counterfeit/false/fake"; {Qop} "be 
worn out"; {notlh} "be obsolete"; *{QapHa'} "malfunction, be 'out of 
order'" (not canonical, but widely used).

Antonyms:

{Qapchu'} "function perfectly"; {pup} "be perfect, be exact"; {naQ} "be 
whole, be entire".

N.B. Do not confuse with {cheH} "defect" [i.e. to the enemy].  E.g.

   wa'leS jIcheH
   Tomorrow I will defect. KGT

>Homonyms:
>     Duy' (noun) - defect

Never used in canon.

N.B. Enunciate the /'/ clearly and don't confuse with {Duy} "agent, 
emissary, delegate" or {Duy'a'} "ambassador"!
