Never used in canon.

Note the homophonous noun {yot} "invasion, raid, incursion" and the derived 
noun {yotwI'} "intruder".

>Additional Notes:
>See also {weH}.

Okrand describes {weH} "raid" as being the "same as {yot}, really, but with 
the added connotation of surprise or speed" (KGT, 48).

Cf. also {HIv} "attack".
