As a funny coincidence, I had a chance to talk with Marc Okrand just 
Friday, on the day before this KWOTD was posted. We talked about this 
specific word because I needed it for a translation I was working on, 
and we noted that the definition was never published as such.

Marc Okrand has confirmed that this is correct to say {Qej} in a phrase 
like "we value it" and so on, so "cherish, value" is the correct definition.
