The phrase in boQwI' applies to many words which can be used with and 
without an object.

It means that the english translation can sometimes be different; it 
does not mean that the word means something entirely different. The used 
english translations may vary whether the klingon takes an object or not.

no object:
tachDaq maghom.
We will meet in the cocktail lounge;

with object:
Everyone encounters tribbles occasionally.
rut yIHmey ghom Hoch.

bInajtaHvIS qeylIS Daghomjaj.
May you encounter Kahless in your dreams!

Hope this helps, maybe others can explain better :-)
