Notes
qogh "ear" is homophonous with qogh, "belt." When used in context, there is seldom confusion; less so when the plural is used (qoghDu' can only be "ears" while qoghmey generally means "belts"). This homophony explains why the Klingon slang expression qogh tuQmoHHa', literally "take off one's belt" is used to mean "to not hear," for example, qogh vItuQmoHHa'pu' "I've taken off my belt; your secret is safe with me." The misplacement of -Ha' in this expression is unique to it. When placed in the correct order qogh tuQHa'moH can only refer to the removing of a belt.
