Never used in canon.

Cf. the homophonous noun {roj} "peace", as well as {rojHom} "truce, 
temporary peace" and "rojmab" "peace treaty".

And, of course, we can derive the noun *{rojwI'} "peacemaker" though, as 
Worf commented, Klingon had no word for "peacemaker" until the Klingons 
encountered Ramatisian mediator Riva, who helped negotiate several treaties 
between the Klingons and the Federation (TNG "Loud as a Whisper").
