jIpIH
I am suspicious. KLS
Cp. {qagh Sopbe'} "He doesn't eat gagh!":
TKW 137: Everyone loves *gagh*, so if one is not eating it, something must be wrong. This expression is used to mean that there is something wrong with someone or that someone is acting suspiciously... For Klingons...this is a rather mild dismissive remark, not a strong insult.
Similar words:
voqHa' distrust (v)
nub be suspect (v)
-law' suspect that (et al.) (vb. suffix)
voq trust (v)
chun be innocent (v)
DIv be guilty (v)
N.B. Do not confuse {pIH} "be suspicious" with the verb {pIH} "expect".
