Never used in a sentence.

Cultural notes:

KCD:  A {bIQ bal} (water jug) is "Traditionally kept filled and set at the front door of every warrior home. It is said, when a warrior returns from battle, he thirsts, and should not want for satisfaction."

Language notes:

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").

KGT 120:  The Klingon word {maj} is an exclamation expressing satisfaction, generally translated as simply "good," and functioning as a sentence in its own right.

KGT 148:  The [slang] word {chong} may also be used as an exclamation expressing approval or satisfaction, somewhat like standard {maj} (good).

Cf. also {yon} "be satisfied":

  qab yon Da'agh. qablIj yon yI'aghHa' 'aghHa'pa' 'etlhwIj.
  Scrape that smug look from your face before my blade
  does it for you. (STConst p.259)
