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 :-)
