Notes
By meaning or definition, I assume you mean how a Klingon word would be defined in Klingon (or a Toki Pona word defined in Toki Pona) - that is only one language is involved. Is that correct?
The word for definition (as in a monolingual dictionary) is Sumlugh.
To say "X means Y" (where X is a word and Y is its meaning or definition or gloss), use ghaS, sometimes along with mu' for clarity: Y ghaS X (mu').
A colloquial (or perhaps slang) way of expressing the definition of a word within the same language - not when translating - is to use 'ang instead of ghaS: Y 'ang X (mu').
X could, of course, be a phrase. If so, it can be followed by either mu' or mu'mey, more frequently the former.
