"The opposite notion [of *Qap,* meaning both /win/ and /function/], 
'lose,' is commonly *luj,* also meaning 'fail.'"

*luj* means both of these things. *Qap* means both /win/ and /function,/ 
because, we are told, "To a Klingon, to win is to function perfectly." 
*luj* is the opposite of *Qap.*

It may not have been the best idea. Disregard that suggestion.
