All good points.
I found myself thinking that here is where Klingons could be /subtle./
ma'ovta' 'ej maQapta' - 'ach 'ovpu' 'ej Qappu' 'e' tera'ngan mayqal ...
A further reflection: "hate, detest (v)" is muS. This, for me, yielded the sentence
qabDaj muSmo' ghIchDaj teqta'
- He cut off his nose to spite (because he hated) his face.
Until someone tells me what the noun for hatred, detestation (spite?) is, I guess I'll have to continue to work around it like this.
