One
of the examples listed by Voragh had {'uch} in it.
Another one had {qaS} it it. Surely, both verbs
refer
to
actions:

jaj 'etlh 'uchchoHlaH tlhIngan puqloD
jajvetlh
loD nen moj.
The
son of a Klingon is a man

day he can first hold a blade.

(STX) I have another example in my notes, though one might argue that paying attention or concentrating does not constitute an action: jemS tIy qIrq. loDHom jIHDI' qIrq qun vIqImchoH. James T. Kirk. I've followed his history since I was a boy. (MO's ST5 notes)
