cite: [...] ghang, is used to express the idea of a premature ending. If [...] the voyage is cut short or the song is interrupted before the final part is sung, one would say: leng ghangDI’ SuvwI’pu’ ’IQ chaH When the warriors end the voyage prematurely, they are sad.; bom ghangDI’ SuvwI’pu’ tlhutlh chaH When the warriors end the song prematurely, they drink. Note that the voyage and the song cannot end themselves. Someone has to end them. [HolQeD-12-2 p.8]

pos: verb

desc: may’ van SuvwI’ the warrior ends the battle; participants are subj.
def: HolQeD-12-2 p.8
ref: TDNW
cite: When an event over which one has some control ends (one can't cause a month to end), a different verb is used: van. This would apply to such things as voyages, battles, plays, operas, stories, and songs. Here, the event (the voyage, the song) doesn't end; the participant in the event or the perpetrator of the event ends it. For example: leng vanDI’ SuvwI’pu’ ’IQ chaH At the end of the voyage, the warriors are sad. bom vanDI’ SuvwI’pu’ tlhutlh chaH At the end of the song, the warriors drink.---Literally, these sentences mean When the warriors end the voyage, they are sad (leng voyage, -DI’ when, SuvwI’pu’ warriors, ’IQ be sad, chaH they) and When the warriors end the song, they drink (bom song, tlhutlh drink). [HolQeD-12-2 p.8]
cite: Maltz said he wasn't sure whether van end and van salute were really the same word, but he found it interesting that Klingons end things by saluting them. [HolQeD-12-2 p.8]
