[Tlhingan-hol] What does "qu-" mean at the start of a word?

[Felix Malmenbeck]

Looking at the keyboard layout, I'm guessing that's a bit like asking "What does QWERTY mean?" ;)

Still learning, but could it be a typo of {qa}, the verb prefix?  {qaja'} would be "I tell you".  I don't know that I've seen a {qu} prefix otherwise.

My Klingon to English parser which I am writing, sometimes refuses on words starting with "qu-" when translating text, e.g.:-

quja' may mean:-

# <qu> V:[tell|report]

Is this word {quja'} a mistype? Or is there a morpheme "qu" which I have omitted from my parser's dictionary, and what is its role in grammar?
