It's a DeCandidovian Klingon word, not (yet) an Okrandian Klingon word.

From "Honor Bound":
"Each grenade was a hollow metal oval, into
which they had placed the sand from the shores
of the Prime Village and a small glass bottle
containing {ngIS} â?? a lubricant used on the
disruptor cannons, and which the {Gorkon} had in
plentiful supply. Throwing the grenade with
sufficient force would break the bottle upon
impact with a solid surface â?? they had been
using B'Oraq's specimen bottles, which were
fairly fragile â?? causing an explosive chemical
reaction with one of the minerals in the sand."
I'm no chemist, and I don't know what kind of
lubricant would react explosively with a mineral
found in beach sand. A cannon lubricant that
explodes under any condition sounds kind of like a bad idea to me.
