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"
