Never used in canon.
Cf. the homophonous noun {roj} "peace", as well as {rojHom} "truce,
temporary peace" and "rojmab" "peace treaty".
And, of course, we can derive the noun *{rojwI'} "peacemaker" though, as
Worf commented, Klingon had no word for "peacemaker" until the Klingons
encountered Ramatisian mediator Riva, who helped negotiate several treaties
between the Klingons and the Federation (TNG "Loud as a Whisper").
