Never used in canon.
Is this the exhaust itself (i.e. the expended fuel by-products)? If so,
could we use {taQbang} for, say, a particle "trail"?
Note that {tuj ghImwI'} is used for "heat exhaust" on the BOP Poster, which
implies a devise of some kind. ({ghImwI'} may have been a look-up error on
Okrand's part. The verb {ghIm} "exile" is listed next to the verb {tlhuch}
"exhaust" in the English-Klingon side of TKD.)
Related verbs: {yIb} "vent"
Related nouns: {vID'Ir} "baffle"
