<div style="direction: ltr;font-family: Tahoma;color: #000000;font-size: 10pt;">Rohan is correct that {HoQ} and {Qaq} are absent from paq'batlh, and the uses of {mIl} are exactly those which he mentioned.<br>
<br>
The words {quv} (the verb and the noun) appear many times. Some of the more interesting examples, in my opinion:<br>
<br>

<div dir="ltr">ghItlhpu' qurgh, jatlh:<br>
&gt; Klingon word: HoQ<br>
<div>&gt; Part of speech: verb<br>
&gt; Definition: be honored falsely, be falsely honorable<br>
<br>
jang Voragh, jatlh:<br>
&gt; Related verbs:<br>
&gt; HoQmoH honor falsely<br>
&gt; quv be honored, be honorable<br>
&gt; Qaq behave falsely honorably/in a falsely honorable manner<br>
&gt; mIl be formerly honored<br>
&gt; Have any of these been used in the {paq'batlh}?<br>
<br>
I haven't yet got the paq'batlh in a searchable format so I have to search by eye, but I couldn't find HoQ or Qaq, and I'll have to look again for quv. mIl appears only twice, both in a verse that shows a really nice usage:<br>
<br>
yIntaHwI'pu' vImIlHa'moH jIH<br>
Heghpu'wI'pu'<br>
DamIlHa'moH SoH<br>
<br>
&quot;I will restore honor among the living,<br>
You will restore honor<br>
Among the dead.&quot;<br>
