Never used in canon.

Similar verbs include {Daw'} "revolt" or {lotlh} "rebel".

There's no homophonous noun, but you can use {Daw'} "revolt, revolution" or 
{QuD} "insurrection".

{lotlhwI'} "a rebel" in attested and is discussed (in English) in KGT:

   The entirety of a government's military apparatus is its {QI'},
   usually translated simply as "military". The word is rather general
   in that it may apply to a nongovernmental military organization as
   well, such as that of a group of rebels. (KGT 51)

   Someone unsatisfied with the status quo, a rebel, might be said to
   want to {ngup qaD} ("challenge those in charge"; literally, challenge
   the cape"). (KGT 157)
