And is there a way to say "like"? Such as, "He looks
like a bug."

looks like =~ resemble? 'rur'

ghew rur. "He resembles a bug."

No reason for me to add anything here! This is a good
illustration of the use of the verb rur "resemble."

The word rur also comes up a lot in Klingon similes, such
as 'up; yIH rur "(it's) disgusting as a tribble,"
literally "it's disgusting; it resembles a tribble" ('up
"it is disgusting," yIH "tribble," rur "it resembles
").
