lujang meQboghnom 'oH yeqchuqchu'taHghach Daw' je joqwI'
They reply it is the {meQboghnom}, the banner of unity
and revolution. PB
(HQ 10.4): Maltz pointed out that, in flight, a bird's wings {laq} (the bird is said to {laqmoH} its wings), but when a banner or sail flaps, the correct word to use is {joq} "flap, flutter, wave."
(Lieven < MO, 1/09/2012): {tlhIm} is commonly used for a fabric wall hanging (that might, for example, have a picture of the Klingon emblem on it). If a piece of cloth is displayed at the end of a pole, it is considered a {joqwI'} ("flag"); a {tlhIm} covers some sort of surface.
Vertical ceremonial banners were seen at the Kot'baval festival held at the Klingon outpost on Maranga IV. (TNG "Firstborn")
Nomen agentis from {joq} "flap, flutter, wave; beat (i.e. heart)":
SuSmo' joqtaH
It is fluttering in the breeze.
("Due to the breeze, it [a flag] is fluttering.") TKD
{joq} is also used for beat (i.e. heart) in the paq'batlh:
Hay'chu' luneHqu' vaj pe'vIl joqqu' cha' tlhIngan tIqDu'
Both Klingon hearts beat, at their strongest, in lust
for blood. PB
Suto'vo'qor botlhDaq pe'vIl joqchu'taH quvbogh 'ej
valbogh tIqDu' tIQ
[translation unavailable] PB
joqtaHbogh molor tIqDu'
Molor's still-beating hearts PB
Hochlogh Dat joqtaHjaj.
May it [a heart] forever beat, anywhere. PB
