Used in canon:
HIHotQo'
Don't touch me! CK
Discussed by Okrand:
{Hot} means "feel, touch", not "feel emotions".
[startrek.klingon 12/12/1996]
For the latter use {DuQ} "touch (emotionally)" or {nong} "be passionate".
For special types of touching, see {qotlh} "tickle", {yach} "pet, stroke",
{roS} "lick", etc.
