If 'IH is be beautiful, then 'IHqu' would be something like be incredibly gorgeous. Is this perhaps an exaggeration? I've noticed that people seem to always put -qu' on 'IH as if it were needed to mean beautiful. It isn't.

Some days ago I asked how I could say in Klingon "embellish" with the meaning of making something beautiful more beautiful, rather than making something that isn't beautiful, beautiful. You proposed *'IHqu'choHmoH*, but maybe it doesn't work in this context. Actually, at first I wanted to speak about decorating our cities, so I wanted to express that our cities are already beautiful, but we make them more beautiful at Christmas (not that they are not beautiful and become beautiful). Then I omitted this part and I only wrote about decorating homes. Probably, speaking about homes, *'IHchoHmoH* would have been enough?

If you want to talk about them becoming beautiful, use 'IHchoHmoH. If you want to talk about them becoming even more beautiful, or becoming stunning, use 'IHqu'choHmoH.
