HQ 12.3:8-9: Maltz ... said it could be used in the same places {quv} "be honored, be honorable" could be used, but only then the honor was not legitimate. Thus, a delegate to the Klingon Empire could well be described as a {Duy quv} "honored emissary", but if it turned out that he or she was a spy, the phrase {Duy HoQ} "falsely honored emissary" would be appropriate. [...] Maltz mentioned one noun associated with these verbs, {DavHam}, which he defined simply as "false honor", but which really covers the same semantic ground as both {HoQ} and {Qaq} (but not really {mIl})."
Related verbs:
HoQmoH honor falsely
quv be honored, be honorable
Qaq behave falsely honorably/in a falsely honorable manner
mIl be formerly honored
Have any of these been used in the {paq'batlh}?
