And I see no evidence in Star Trek that Klingons have any kind of permanent
police force, though suspects are taken into custody and courts are
convened to try them.

So perhaps {qop} is used in the more general sense of the word "arrest,"
causing motion or some other process to be halted. One might then say
?{HachchoHghach qoplu'bogh} for arrested development.
