(PB) (KGT 71-72): Another common way to say that a specific piece or performance of music has a particularly strong effect on a listener is to employ the verb {DuQ} (literally, "stab"): {muDuQ bom} ("The song stabs me", or, in a more colloquial Federation Standard form, "The song moves me"). If the music is judged positively - that is, if the listener likes it - the music is said to be {'ey}, using the word normally translated as "delicious" when talking about food. Rendering {'ey bom} as "The song is good" is acceptable, but it fails to capture the real feeling of the Klingon. (KGT 84): Food also resembles music in that if it affects one in an especially positive way--that is, if the food particularly satisfies the eater--one may say {DuQ Soj} ("The food stabs him/her").
