   "If you were (stuck) at the {yotna' cha'DIch} at Farpoint, you
    might remember Seqram going mad with folding gobs and gobs of
    stuff out of paper."

It's not canonical - which is why you couldn't find it in the sources you 
checked - but *{yotna'} consists of the noun {yot} "invasion, raid, 
incursion" plus the noun suffix {-na'} "definite, true, authentic, etc." 
and refers to "Invasion," a Trek convention (like Farpoint).  {yotna' 
cha'DIch} would, of course, be the second of these annual "Invasion" 
conventions.
