AFAIK never used in a Klingon sentence.

Possibly useful for "bureau, ministry, department" et al.?  

Agencies and bureaus in Trek:

"Our authority comes from the United Earth Space Probe Agency." (Kirk to Capt. Christopher, TOS "Tomorrow is Yesterday") 

The Federation has a Bureau of Planetary Treaties. (TOS "The Mark of Gideon")

Related nouns:

Duy 		agent

qum 		government
loH 		administration

DIvI' 	federation, organization, association, league, union
yejHaD 	institute, institution
yej'an 	society (scholarly)
