pIQ  		be direct (v) 
pIQHa'  	be indirect,  be roundabout,  be devious (v) 

[MO > 'ISqu', (1/02/12)]:  "be indirect, be roundabout, be devious" is {pIQHa'}. So {pIQ} would be "be direct." 

(TKD 59):  As in any language, Klingon sentences range from the very simple and straightforward to the very complex and convoluted.

TREK TRIVIA:
  Jadzia is persuading Kor to convince Kang and Koloth to take her with them to a trip of vengeance. Kor says he can't convince Kang if he has made his mind. Jadzia says he can. Kor self-pityingly says his best days are behind him. Jadzia comforts him and says that in her memories he is a great warrior, and leaves. Kor, touched and almost in tears, mutters: "You devious little *hadeebah*." (DS9 "Blood Oath")
