KGT 71: Though one occasionally hears someone say {QoQ tIv} ("He/she enjoys [the] music") or {bom tIv} ("He/she enjoys the song"), music is not really considered something that causes pleasure. Among Klingons, pleasure is deemed quite unessential for one's well-being. More frequently, the appreciation of music is expressed in terms of something that music does to the listener rather than in terms of the listener's reaction. Thus, music is said to embolden ({jaqmoH}), excite ({SeymoH}), encourage ({tungHa'}), or to stimulate or inspire ({pIlmoH}).
Cf. {jaq} "be bold" (v)
KGT 165: Nonslang equivalents for {Sub} [be brave, be heroic, be bold, be valiant, be intrepid (slang)] are {yoH} (be brave) and {jaq} (be bold), which can be used pretty much interchangeably.
