<p>When you get multiple glosses in an entry, they're there to
better guide you to the meaning and usage of the word. You don't
have to be able to make the possible Klingon objects fit with
every English term given.</p>
<p>The word <b>wuq</b> was used in Skybox S25 in the sentence <b>ngoch
luchermeH 'ej wo' San luwuqmeH pa' ghom tlhIngan yejquv
DevwI'pu'</b> <i>[There] the leaders of the Klingon High
Council meet to determine policy and decide upon the fate of the
Empire.</i> It was also used in KGT with <b>DaH yIwuq</b><i>
Decide now!</i></p>
<p>Given the S25 sentence, I don't see any reason you can't <b>wuq</b>
a person as well as you can <b>wuq</b> a fate. <b>vIwuqpu'</b><i>
I decided upon him/her/it/them</i> should be fine. The fact that
you can <i>decide fate</i> but not <i>decide him</i> in English
is just a quirk of English.<br>
