what is the exact opposite of {qaq} ? is there one in klingon ?

{muS}, {par}, {qaqbe'}?

English doesn't appear to have any kind of true antonym for "prefer" either.

qaqHa'

{qaqHa'} doesn't work for me as an exact opposite, since {-Ha'} means that the {qaq}ing was undone or misdone (so I used to {qaq} it but don't anymore, or I said I {qaq} something mistakenly when I didn't really {qaq} it).

TKD: "This negative suffix implies not merely that something is not done (as does -be'), but that there is a change of state: something that was previously done is now undone. For convenience, it will here be translated as undo, but it is closer to the English prefixes mis-, de-, dis- (as in misunderstand, demystify, disentangle). It is also used if something is done wrongly."
