What does "keep (in the combination of change)" mean?
It's about money which you get back in a payment, to say the phrase "you may keep the change". Okrand explained: "Change" in this sense is {chuv} "leftover." "Keep the change," said to a merchant, for example, would be {chuvmey tI'uch} (or, if it made sense, {chuv yI'uch}), literally "hold (on to) the leftover(s)!" (This could be ambiguous in a restaurant, of course, so one should be certain that context makes clear what is meant by {chuv}.) (qepHom 2020, p. 26) https://klingon.wiki/Word/-uch -- Lieven L.
