How would one reference it in English? The most common phrasing I
can think of would be "have responsibility", which is essentially the
same as the simple verb {ngoy'} "be responsible". Perhaps "take
responsibility", which I think comes across well as {ngoy'choH}
"become responsible".
I am not sure *why* one would want to reference a noun form of
responsibility in Klingon. Can you give an appropriate context, and
a specific idea that you want to express?
