Re: Klingon WOTD: juH (n)

As used in canon:
SuvwI' juHmey rur tachmey
Bars resemble warriors' homes. CK
juHwIjDaq Dochvetlh vItlhap
I will take that to my home. PK
The meaning was explicitly extended to "house" in PK:
naDev juHlIjDaq cha'logh jISopneSchugh vaj jIquv
It would be an honor to eat twice here at your house, your Honor. PK
Cf. also {qach} "building, structure". Beginners should be careful to
distinguish one's {juH} from one's {tuq} "house, tribe, ancestral unit" --
e.g. {DuraS tuq} "the House of Duras".
{juH} appears as an element in {juHHom} "cottage", {juH'a'} "mansion" and
{juHqo'} "homeworld".
