  SeymoH QeH 
  Anger excites. TKW

KGT 171:  Though one occasionally hears someone say {QoQ tIv} ("He/she enjoys [the] music") or {bom tIv} ("He/she enjoys the song"), music is not really considered something that causes pleasure. Among Klingons, pleasure is deemed quite unessential for one's well-being. More frequently, the appreciation of music is expressed in terms of something that music does to the listener rather than in terms of the listener's reaction. Thus, music is said to embolden ({jaqmoH}), excite ({SeymoH}), encourage ({tungHa'}), or to stimulate or inspire ({pIlmoH}).

Sey  		"be excited" (v)

AFAIK never used in a sentence.

KGT 165:  Literally meaning "breathe" ... [{tlhuH}] is used in such expressions as {jItlhuH} ("I am exhilarated, it's exhilarating to me"; literally, "I breathe"). Perhaps a near equivalent in standard Klingon is {Sey} ("be excited").

SEE ALSO:

bIt 		be nervous/uneasy (v)
jot 		be calm (v)
tlhuH 	be exhilarated, stimulated, invigorated (v) (slang)
