We have the verb {poH}and the noun {poH}.  I don't think we've seen the verb
in canon (though I'm sure to be corrected if I'm mistaken).  Examples of the
noun {poH} could be inferred from "century" and "generation":

TKW p. 155
{qaStaHvIS wej puq poHmey vav puqloDpu' puqloDpu'chaj je quvHa'moH vav
quvHa'ghach}
The dishonor of the father dishonors his sons and their sons for three
generations

Bat'telh, Klingon Sword of Honor

Worf's bat'telh has been in his family for ten generations.  According to
Klingon legend, this sword of honor descends from the time of Kahless the
Unforgettable.

Klingon Battlecruiser, K'Tinga-Class

Similar in configuration to the first Klingon vessels encountered, the
K'Tinga-Class remained in use for most of the 23rd century.  A sleeper ship
of this class, the T'Ong, was encountered in the 24th century th the U.S.S.
Enterprise.

Cloaking Device

All Klingon vessels are equipped with a cloaking device, allowing the ship
to fly in a state of practical invisibility.  Cloaking technology was gained
through an alliance with the Romulan Star Empire, possibly in exchange for
Warp Drive technology.  Due to the tremendous energy drain of a cloaking
device, weapons cannot be discharged while the cloak is in operation.

[On stardate 9521.6 this ship was demonstrated but it was destroyed.]
