Now, this sentence was (probably) not written by Okrand. But it's Star Trek canon, and it's reasonably good Klingon, so I think (at least in L'Rell's dialect) this means that {SIch} can also have Dictionary.com's sense 5.

That's not how we define Okrandian canon round these parts, so I'm leaving the jury out on that.
I agree with SuStel, following the strict seperation between Okrandian canon, and anything else - no matter how good any translation is. I have great respect for Qov's work, but just like any of us she must interpret the words her personal way and may be wrong with ambiguous words. For instance, L'Rell once used the word {'ol} for "confirm" while Maltz gave us the word {woq} for exactly that, almost simulateneously. Qov's problem in tis projekct is that she just can't ask anyone outside and she usually has a lot of time pressure. But again, she did a very good job here, which I do not wish to diminuish here. I'm sure the Klingon Netflix subtitles have mistakes and interpretations as well. -- Lieven L.
