[tlhIngan Hol] verb {tlhap} "take" for beings

[Iikka Hauhio]

In the Klingon monopoly, there are these sentences:

jagh Duj DaQaw' 'ach pagh qama' Datlhapqa'. "Destroy enemy vessel without retrieving prisoners."

ngIq gholvo' wa'maH QaS yItlhap. "Collect 10 forces from every player."

I'm not sure if they in this context refer to board game tokens instead of real soldiers or prisoners, so they might not be valid evidence.
