(KGT 105-06): the Klingon phrase {wa' DoS wIqIp} ("We hit one target") or the shorter {DoS wIqIp} ("We hit a target") is frequently heard in conversations that have nothing to do with shooting, targets, or even weaponry. It is a way of saying "We agree."
(KGT 74-75): Some types of {'In} [percussion instrument] are struck with the hand, either palm ({toch}) or fist ({ro'}), depending on the particular instrument. To hit the instrument with the palm is {weq}; to strike it with the fist is {tlhaw'}.
(KGT 69): To challenge one to a duel to the death, one hits one's adversary with the back of the hand ({chap}). If one is hitting someone for some other reason, such as simple enjoyment, one uses the fist ({ro'}).
[Lieven Lietaer & Marc Okrand, 10/29/2015]:
MO: To use a stapler or hole punch ("perforator, hole punch" {nIqDob}), you {qIp} it or {'uy} ["pess down"] it or {ngaH} ("squeeze") it, depending on the device. [...] The hole punch will {ghID} ("pierce, perforate") the paper (or other material).
