This is a case of TKD giving you the definition of a Klingon verb plus 
suffix because someone looking up the English word needs something to 
find. It's not that **lajQo'** has some special meaning that couldn't be 
discerned by analyzing **laj + -Qo';** it's that the way to express 
rejection is by saying you refuse to accept or by commanding not to accept.

When you get tripped up by **lajQo'** = *reject,* you show that you're 
not thinking in Klingon. If you know what **laj** means and you know 
what **-Qo'** means, then you know what **lajQo'** means.
