{'ap} was defined at qepHom 2020 as:
'ap n. dues, toll
and three more noun phrases based on it were revealed:
HIjmeH 'ap n. fee paid when bringing certain commodities into a jurisdiction
HIjmeH 'ap pIn n. customs officer
HuqmeH 'ap n. excise tax, sales tax, VAT
Which explains Maltz's suggestion about {qavmeH 'ap}.

klingon.wiki entry on {qav} (n) from the page
http://klingon.wiki/En/NewWordsQepHom2020:
"Maltz didn't know what qav by itself was, but he said he wouldn't be surprised to learn that qav'ap was shortened from qavmeH 'ap or something like that at some point in the past".
