> Klingon word: pav
> Part of speech: verb
> Definition: be urgent

Possibly used once in canon:

Qugh la'vaD QIn pav. 
[Urgent message for Commander Kruge.] (ST3 DVD case)

Related words:

potlh 		be important (v)
  potlh De' 	   priority message

tugh  		soon (adv)
nom 			fast, quickly (adv)
qen 			recently, a short time ago (adv)
SIbI' 		immediately (adv)
pay' 		suddenly (adv)

Anyone know if Okrand vetted the Klingon for this re-issue of the DVD?
FYI, the {tlhIngan Hol} on the back of the ST3 DVD case:

  Qugh la'vaD QIn pav.
  [Urgent message for Commander Kruge.]

  qa'vam jan SeH DIvI'.
  [The Federation controls the Genesis Device.]

  qa'vam yuQ Quv DaghojmeH Duyma'vaD yIjatlh.
  [To learn the Genesis Planet's coordinates, speak to our agent.]

  qa'vam jan yISuq.
  [Acquire the Genesis Device!]

  potlhbe' to'.
  [Tactics aren't important.]
  (i.e. Do it anyway you can; we don't care how!)
