qe.rats refers to accusations brought against people, as in the complaint against the Jews.
The attested use concerns accusations brought against a group: Daniel 3:8 places the plural construct form in the Chaldeans' action against the Jews. The same plural construct form occurs in Daniel 6:25, though the APB's royal proclamation does not isolate its contribution there.

In Daniel 3:8, the plural construct form occurs as certain Chaldeans approach against the Jews; the APB renders the action as having “brought accusations against the Jews.” Daniel 6:25 has the same noun morphology, but the APB renders a proclamation of peace and does not make the term's specific contribution clear.
In the Anselm Project Bible: In Daniel 3:8, the APB presents the clause with “brought accusations against the Jews.” In Daniel 6:25, its translation of the royal proclamation does not visibly isolate a corresponding rendering.
