Notes
(KGT 147-48) This expression is often uttered when one has just been given good news, such as a report of victory in a battle. Literally, the phrase means "The plates are full", suggesting an abundance of food. If the information is particularly good, one may add the emphatic suffix -qu' to the verb: buy'qu' ngop ("That's really good news"; literally, "The plates are very full"). Similarly, if the information is considered only partially good, or only the forerunner of good news to come, one might use the suffix -law' (apparently): buy'law' ngop ("That seems to be good news"; literally, "The plates are apparently full"). In standard Klingon, one might say De'vetlh vIQoy, vaj jIQuch ("I am happy to hear that information").
