Well, qurgh beat me to the punch and quoted his email, so all that's left is to comment about {SaH} "care for, be concerned about" (v):

  jISaHbe'
  I don't care (which of several courses of action is followed)! TKD

  wa' yIHoH. jISaHbe' 
  Kill one of them. I don't care which. ST3

  bISaHbe'? 
  [You don't care?! (untranslated)] PK

  qorDu' SaHlu'chugh 'ej matlhlu'chugh vaj wa' tlhIngan ghob potlhqu' 
  devotion and loyalty to family is one of the most important Klingon virtues. S13

  ghojwI'pu'lI' tISaH 
  Care about your students. TKW 

  toH, Hey Humanpu'.  qatlh DISaH?

Note the similar verb:

Qorgh 		take care of, care for  (v)

  'etlh QorghHa'lu'chugh ragh 'etlh nIvqu' 'ej jejHa'choH 
  Even the best blade will rust and grow dull unless it is cared for. TKW

  nuHmeyraj tIQorgh | watlh 'Iwraj 'e' lu'aghmo' nuHmey jej
  [Kahless spoke to them] about caring for their weapons, for they
   represent the purity of their blood. PB
