I had to do a bit of digging and found various meanings for "He tasks me", and believe I was right in the "subject-to-hardship" sense. Because Ceti Alpha V became uninabitable, Khan lost his wife and suffered hardship and I'd say "causes to suffer" still works.
{ghong}, perhaps? Other options (of varying literalness) might be {Doy'moH}, {qaD}, {QIH}, or {tlhoy vummoH}. (Thesaurus.com - a Klingon translator's second-best friend.)
It probably could be fairly forced as I was trying for something that would work for both a whirlpool and some kind of strange flow of something near Antares. But I'm not sure a {mI'rab} connotes the necessary movement. I think it needs to be something that will {ver} like a {SuS'a'}, but that also works for water.
How about {verwI''a'}? Explicitly using the verb root (perhaps with a {-taH} too) might convey the notion of movement more than {mI'rab} does.
