(KGT 178):  When {-logh} is attached to {pagh} (zero), the resulting form, {paghlogh} ("zero times") is used as an emphatic alternate for {not} ("never"), as in {paghlogh jegh tlhIngan SuvwI'} ("a Klingon warrior surrenders zero times")... compare {not jegh tlhIngan SuvwI'} ("a Klingon warrior never surrenders").
