Notes

If music is judged positively---that is, if the listener likes it---the music is said to be 'ey, using the word normally translated as "delicious" when talking about food. Rendering 'ey bom as "The song is good" is acceptable, but it fails to capture the real feeling of the Klingon.

Well-prepared food is described as 'ey ("delicious"), the word also used to describe good music: 'ey Soj ("The food is delicious"); Soj 'ey ("delicious food"). Food also resembles music in that if it affects one in an especially positive way - that is, if the food particularly satisfies the eater - one may say DuQ Soj ("The food stabs him/her").

Thus, the word 'eyHa', used to describe food that is edible but is not particularly tasty, means something like "undelicious," implying that someone caused it to cease being delicious.
