Perhaps you could even use {Y DopmoH X.}; it is X that makes Y opposite, as something cannot be opposite of nothing.

Isn't something already the opposite of nothing? :)

Would be interesting to know how to use this to describe antonyms. Can you treat verbs like names, and say something like:

{Dop Say' lam je.}
= "Say' and lam are opposites."

Or perhaps give them "titles" such as:

{Dop Say' wot lam wot je.}
= "The verb Say' is the opposite of the verb lam."

We don't really know a lot about how Klingon deals with referring to words as words. At the very least, I feel like you'd want some sort of quotation mark: {Dop "Say'" "lam" je.} (Just out of curiosity, is there some other punctuation accepted by the Klingonist community to indicate quotations besides the "? It kind of mixes in with the qaghwI'mey.)

I think {tlhegh} might be preferable to {SIrgh}, considering the word {mu'tlhegh}, though I might be reading too much into that. {mIr} would certainly make a lot of sense, as it has discrete elements.
{tlhegh} is also apparently used for lines formed by people (c.f. paq'batlh, paq'raD, Canto 1, Stanza 9, Line 2 - chen wej tlheghmey), though it's unclear if the word incorporates the sequential aspects of a queue or just the shape of a rope.

{mIr} or possibly {mIw mIr} makes the most sense to me for a software thread.

I'd be interested to know a little more about the different ways {tlhegh} and {mIr} are used metaphorically. {mIr} is used in {lupwI' mIr} "train" and {lut mIr} "series of stories", and seems to mean "related things connected sequentially". {tlhegh} is used in {mu'tlhegh} "sentence", {vIttlhegh} "proverb", and {yutlhegh} "scale, spectrum", and seems to be a bit more abstract, and isn't used as a standalone word in those metaphorical compounds. Are there any more uses of these words from canon?
