Klingon word: ghaS Part of speech: verb Definition: indicate, signal Source: qepHom 2020 _______________________________________________ (qepHom 2020, "How to say: nod in agreement"): The verb {qel} ("nod") refers only to the motion of the head, not what such a motion may or may not indicate. To express that the nodding means something, such as agreement, you could say something like {Qochbe' vaj qel nachDaj} ("he/she agrees so his/her head nods"). It is also possible to make use of {ghaS} ("indicate, signal"), for example, {Qochbe' 'e' ghaSmeH qel nachDaj} ("his/her head nods in order to indicate that he/she agrees") or {Qochbe' 'e' ghaSmeH qel ghaH} ("he/she nods in order to indicate that he/she agrees" or "he/she nods in agreement"). In some cultures, a nod may indicate something other than agreement, so one might say, for example, {yaj 'e' ghaSmeH qel ghaH} ("he/she nods to signal that he/she understands").
