We've ever seen it written officially IIRC so we don't know if it's one 
word {HIvchuq} or two words {HIv chuq}.  But there's {HIvDuj} "attack 
fighter" (KGT & HQ 1.3).  It appears to be another of those odd verb + noun 
compounds like {QongDaq} "bed", or evidence of an hitherto unattested, 
possibly obsolete, noun.

BTW we also have {HIvHe} "attack course" (n.) from the same movie with the 
same caveats:

   HIvHe yIchoHmoH!
   Alter the attack course! ST5
