Never used in canon.

This is of course the nomen agentis of the verb {nIH} "steal".

Related verbs include {Hej} "rob" and {qor} "scavenge".

Cultural notes:

KGT 153:  ... the Hur'q, a race of humanoids from the Gamma Quadrant who 
developed a reputation as ruthless invaders who would attack other 
societies primarily for the purpose of robbery, stealing whatever they 
could and destroying the rest.
