This information was given as a response to a request for "boo! hiss!,
However Klingons vocalize their displeasure when in a group" (the KLI word
list links here <https://www.kli.org/chabal-archive/boo-hiss/>), for which
we learned that *baQa'* is used for this purpose. boQwI' and the KLIwiki
both include "boo! hiss!" as glosses along with "general invective". (My
suspicion is that this is just a specific usage of a more general
invective, rather than the sole meaning of *baQa'*, but of course I'm not
MO.)
