potlhmo' batlh, vIqawba'. 'ej chIvo' neH chIw vum'e'. Because you care about honor. And this man has none. STID HQ 12.3 p.9: Maltz mentioned one noun associated with these verbs, DavHam, which he defined simply as "false honor", but which really covers the same semantic ground as both HoQ and Qaq (but not really mIl). DavHam is different from quvHa'ghach "dishonor" (noun) in that the latter does not imply seeming to be honorable or the appearance of honorability, but rather the lack of or loss of honor. SEE ALSO: batlh honor (n) quv honor (n.) quvHa'ghach dishonor (n) batlhHa' dishonorably (adv) HoQ be honored falsely, be falsely honorable (v) Qaq behave falsely honorably, behave in a falsely honorable manner (v) mIl be formerly honored (v) qal be corrupt (v) GARAK: "It's the honorable thing to do." WORF: "You use that word, but you have no idea what it means." GARAK: "Perhaps not, but you do." [DS9 "In Purgatory's Shadow"] HQ 12.3 p.9: All this talk of pseudohonor and nonhonor logically led to a discussion of honor itself, normally expressed by the nouns quv and batlh, both usually defined as simply "honor". When asked to distinguish between the two, Maltz said, tlhIngan Soj 'oH -- not bIyaj, literally, "It is Klingon food--you will not understand," using Soj "food" in its idiomatic sense of matter, concern, affair.
