"Star Trek: Federation Travel Guide" by Michael Jan Friedman (NY: Pocket 
Books, c1997) is a vacation book with restaurant and hotel locations for 
different planets.  The four pages on Qo'noS feature a "key phrase" which 
every tourist should know. Okrand contributed this one "useful" sentence to 
Friedman's book:

   tajwIj 'oHbe' chorlIj jeqbogh Dochvetlh'e'
   That is not my dagger protruding from your midsection.

Okrand confirmed that this was, in fact, his on st.klingon (June 1997) when 
asked about {jeq}, and he added that:

   The object of this verb would be the thing from which something
   else (the subject) protrudes. Thus, {chor jeq taj} means a knife
   protrudes from a belly. I suppose this is a handy word to know
   if you're vacationing on Qo'noS.

He later included {jeq} "protrude from" in the glossary to KGT.
