As used in canon:
DaH Heraj yIchoH
Alter your course now. (ST5 notes)
HIvHe yIchoHmoH
Alter the attack course! ST5
ghopDu' choHpu' Qe'
The restaurant has altered hands. KGT
Language notes:
KGT 106f.: By the same token, literally translating a sentence such as "The restaurant changed hands" into Klingon, presumably as {ghopDu' choHpu' Qe'} ("The restaurant has altered hands") or perhaps {ghopDu' tampu' Qe'} ("The restaurant has exchanged hands"), does not tell the Klingon that the restaurant is now under new ownership, which is what the Federation Standard phrase really means.

Dub improve
rach strengthen

Note the homophonous noun {choH} "change":
choH lISbogh Hap'e': cha'pujqut
