Not that I recall.  I did find this English quote in my notes from the 
novel "Diplomatic Implausibility":

   During a legal proceeding, the accused is denied combat, and so must
   have a second, called a {cha'DIch}, to defend him or her.

But in this case, I think {... 'e' chaw'be'/chaw'Qo'} "not/refuse to allow 
(permit) that ..." works for this sense of "deny".
