"Star Trek: Federation Travel Guide" by Michael Jan Friedman (NY: Pocket
Books, c1997) is a vacation book with restaurant and hotel locations for
different planets. The four pages on Qo'noS feature a "key phrase" which
every tourist should know. Okrand contributed this one "useful" sentence to
Friedman's book:
tajwIj 'oHbe' chorlIj jeqbogh Dochvetlh'e'
That is not my dagger protruding from your midsection.
Okrand confirmed that this was, in fact, his on st.klingon (June 1997) when
asked about {jeq}, and he added that:
The object of this verb would be the thing from which something
else (the subject) protrudes. Thus, {chor jeq taj} means a knife
protrudes from a belly. I suppose this is a handy word to know
if you're vacationing on Qo'noS.
He later included {jeq} "protrude from" in the glossary to KGT.
