I don't recall ever hearing it, in canon or on the list or elsewhere. Does
anyone know?
Searching the list archives...
Found a reference in a posting from.... [email protected], oddly enough:

A citation from yourself. wejpuH. Let's see if we can do better.
Aha. From Christian Matzke, in November 1995. He mentions it as a
creature mentioned in one of the Klingon novels (_Dwellers of the
Crucible_). I have not heard that that novel's Klingon words were
originated or approved by Dr. Okrand, so until I hear otherwise, I can't
accept them as canon.
Try to keep track of where words (or purported words) come from, it's
important.
