Notes

qepHom 2015: To use a stapler or hole punch ("perforator, hole punch" nIqDob), you qIp it or 'uy it or ngaH ("squeeze") it, depending on the device.

For the actual physical activity of knocking on a door, you can use qIp "hit (with hand, fist...)." But to include the notion of why you're banging on the door, add in HIl "make someone's presence known." The object of this verb is the person whose presence is being announced (so for announcing oneself, you'd use HIl'egh). This can be used when knocking at a door, ringing a doorbell, making an announcement and/or playing a fanfare on a trumpet like in a royal court, etc.

latlh De'/Additional Information

When the Enterprise was held in the grip of a Ferengi force field, Worf offered this advice to Captain Picard as a way to deal with the opponent. Once again, the importance of taking action, of not being passive or reticent, may be observed in the suggestion.

Don't just aim; hit the target.

Type: proverb - Source: TKW

latlh De'/Additional Information

This is another adage couched in the vocabulary or battle that actually has wider application. Klingons hold that there is no value in setting goals unless one achieves them. This attitude complements the belief, noted earlier, that playing a game just for fun is an outlandish notion.

Klingon warriors are butting heads.

With the back of his hand,
And walks away.
