[Tlhingan-hol] Klingon Word of the Day: qo'la' 'awje'

[De'vID jonpIn]

Voragh:
>  "I was surprised to learn that we were using {'awje'} incorrectly at the qep'a' [loSDIch]. It is not a general term for any non-potent drink, but is a specific beverage, that is similar in appearance to root beer. In fact, Okrand points out that there is no single all purpose word for soft drink." (SuSvaj)
>
>  "Okrand was quick to point out that this was not a literal translation, but rather more of a generic term for a nonpotent beverage, one which occurs in Klingon proverbs and was probably what Worf meant when remarking that you cannot pry secrets out of someone with root beer." (Lawrence M. Schoen on KGT, HQ 6.2: 20)

What's the context for the second quote?  It seems to contradict the first.
