Never used in canon.

Discussed in KGT (p. 28f.):

"The standard word for this prominent part of Klingon anatomy is {Quch}, 
and this word is found with this meaning throughout the Empire. In 
addition, however, practically every dialect has its own alternate word for 
'forehead'. Indeed, {Quch} is simply the word for 'forehead' in the First 
City. Among these other forms are: {boD}, {jargh}, {mIQ}, {'aQlo'}, 
{Huy'Dung}, {tuqvol}, {no''och}. While the first four of these words are 
simply regionalisms for 'forehead', the last three can be analyzed, at 
least partially."
