For those preferring "quotable facts", there's a summary of the video interview at the Klingon Language Wiki:
http://www.klingonwiki.net/En/NewWordsQepa25
{'an} a verb meaning to be a waste as in That's a waste.
Okrand: "But it's not like 'I waste the Coca Cola'; you need -moH for that." [...] "I sent him out there knowing he's not going to come back = I sacrificed him. [it's with -moH] because I caused him to be a waste, I caused that to be 'wasteful'."
That page contains the wrong definition in the word list. The interview portion has the correct explanation for how it's used.
