This is a Klingonaase word, "le'vek", invented by John Ford for the
second edition of the _The Klingons_ supplement for _Star Trek: The
RPG_. He translates it there as "three-knife".
Seeing as we use thlIngan Hol here, not Klingonaase, the confusion is
understandable. /qutluch/ or /betleH/ are available for use in
tlhIngan Hol, however. (The first is something more possible to have
in one's pocket; however, it's the traditional weapon of assassins,
and thus it's probably not too keen to bandy the word about casually.)
