As used in canon:

   SuvwI' juHmey rur tachmey
   Bars resemble warriors' homes. CK

   juHwIjDaq Dochvetlh vItlhap
   I will take that to my home. PK

The meaning was explicitly extended to "house" in PK:

   naDev juHlIjDaq cha'logh jISopneSchugh vaj jIquv
   It would be an honor to eat twice here at your house, your Honor. PK

Cf. also {qach} "building, structure".  Beginners should be careful to 
distinguish one's {juH} from one's {tuq} "house, tribe, ancestral unit" -- 
e.g. {DuraS tuq} "the House of Duras".

{juH} appears as an element in {juHHom} "cottage", {juH'a'} "mansion" and 
{juHqo'} "homeworld".
