As used in canon:
qIpmeH Qatlh'a'
Difficult to hit? ST5
[i.e. wIqIpmeH Qatlh'a' (ST5 Notes)]
Qatlhqu'
Most difficult. ST5
KGT 159: the verb suffix {-qu'}, which is used for emphasis (compare {Qatlh}, "difficult", and {Qatlhqu'}, "very difficult").
Cultural notes:
KGT 179: For example, among Klingons, a task that is difficult (Qatlh) is more highly valued than one that is easy (ngeD).
Related verbs:
Don't confuse with {let} "hard (as a rock)"
Antonyms: {nap} be simple & {ngeD} be easy
