I wonder to what extent {mIpHa'} works as "be poor".
It might actually be translated as "having lost wealth" or "failing to be wealthy".
Perhaps a particularly proud Klingon might be heard saying {jImIpHa'be'; jImIpQo'!}

Your wealth is impressive, your honor. PK
Cf. also the homophonous verb {mIp} "be rich".
KGT 5: Some houses (that is, lineages) are more wealthy and powerful than others.
KGT 36: Klingon society is a stratified one. That is, there are clear distinctions between those with great wealth and influence and those with little or none. ... Some houses are particularly wealthy, controlling vast lands by means of armed forces loyal to the particular house.

DIvI' ram boSuqlaH
Kronos, Romulus and even the puny Federation's
precious Earth, are all up for grabs. MKE
