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. But Maltz said that doesn't mean "squeeze" like squeezing into a tight space. That verb is qoch. (The object of this verb is the space — like a small car or a crowded elevator — being squeezed into, and this includes clothes or shoes that are too small.) For squeezing a toothpaste tube or for squeezing an orange, he said the verb is ngaH. The hole punch will ghID ("pierce, perforate") the paper (or other material).

KGT 202f.: The normal word for "friend" is jup and it may be used in direct address in sentences such as jup 'Iw HIq yItlhutlh ("Friend, drink the bloodwine"). It commonly occurs with the possessive suffix -wI' (my): jupwI' 'Iw HIq yItlhutlh ("My friend, drink the bloodwine"). The word jup, however, does not necessarily connote a close friend. For this, one may add the noun suffix -na' (definite) to the word and say jupna' (real friend, good friend) ... In addition, however, there are some other terms used for very close friends, and the correct usage depends, among other things, on the gender of the speaker and the addressee. The word maqoch, sometimes translated as "buddy" or "pal", is used most often by a male addressing another male who is a good friend, as in maqoch 'Iw HIq yItlhutlh ("Pal, drink the bloodwine"). When used in such a context, it signifies genuine companionship. If, however, it is used by someone who is definitely not a good friend, such as a member of a house with which one has been feuding, it is considered offensive. Furthermore, if used by a casual acquaintance, it may be taken as a sign of aggression; Klingons are generally apprehensive about those showing too much friendship. A Klingon female would address someone as maqoch only if she intended to insult him or her. A Klingon male with any honor at all would never address a female as maqoch. The word maqoch itself may derive from may' qoch (literally, "battle partner"), so perhaps it originally meant something like "war buddy". There is a word that Klingon females use in a pattern paralleling the males' use of maqoch. This word is chaj, a close female friend of a female. As with maqoch, it is used only in addressing a true friend. If uttered by a female adversary, it is insulting; if uttered by a casual acquaintance it is presumptuous. A male Klingon would address a female Klingon as chaj only to offend her. If a male were to be addressed as chaj, by either a male or a female, he would consider his honor to be attacked and would react accordingly. It is not uncommon for a Klingon father to address his son as maqoch or for a Klingon mother to address her daughter as chaj. The reverse, however, is not true. That is, a son would never call his father maqoch, nor would a daughter address her mother as chaj. Because of the dangers inherent in using maqoch and chaj inappropriately, it is suggested that visitors be quite sure of the status of their relationships with individual Klingons before uttering or reacting to either of these words.
