Additional Notes:
Also in "Okrand's Notes" in HolQeD 2:4 p. 18.  " 'To win' a competition is to {Qap}.  (If it's a decisive or particularly gratifying victory, they'd say {Qapchu'}, even though that's a bit redundant.)  In TKD, {Qap} is translated as 'succeed, work, function.'  To a Klingon, to win is to function perfectly.  The opposite notion, 'lose,' is commonly {luj}, also meaning 'fail.' "
   
Homonyms:
	Qap (verb) - work, function, succeed, operate, be in operation
