It might not be a "ritual", but I'm taking 4 vacation days for {qep'a'}!

Maybe {yIntaHghach}? Without knowing what context the word is to be used
in, any suggestions will be random attempts to hit the meaning you desire.

No. The word for {Qo'noS} is {Qo'noS}. "Klin" is apparently a city or
district on the Klingon homeworld (likely an important place in Klingon
history). {tlhIngan} is more a statement of culture than of residence.
