_______________________________________________

buy'qu' ngop=20
That's really good news. KGT

buy'law' ngop=20
That seems to be good news. KGT

(KGT 147-48):  This expression is often uttered when one has just been given =
good news, such as a report of victory in a battle.  Literally, the phrase me=
ans "The plates are full", suggesting an abundance of food. If the informatio=
n is particularly good, one may add the emphatic suffix {-qu'} to the verb:  =
{buy'qu' ngop} (That's really good news; literally, "The plates are very full=
").  Similarly, if the information is considered only partially good, or only=
 the forerunner of good news to come, one might use the suffix {-law'} (appar=
ently):  {buy'law' ngop} (That seems to be good news; literally, "The plates =
are apparently full").  In standard Klingon, one might say {De'vetlh vIQoy, v=
aj jIQuch" ("I am happy to hear that information").=20

PUN:=20
"buying op(portunity)"?  (Qov)
