Never used in canon.

Many have remarked on the alliterative similarity of {jaw} "chat" to the 
verbs {jach} "scream, cry out"; {jang} "answer, reply"; {jat} "speak 
incoherently, mumble" (slang); {jatlh} "say, speak"; {ja'} "tell, report" 
and {ja'chuq} "discuss".  All are verbs of speech beginning with /ja-/ and 
*may* be etymologically related to the noun {jat} "tongue".
