It's never been used in a Klingon sentence, but here's a bit more context:
Large animals are usually chopped into pieces, sometimes with
attention paid to which piece is which... sometimes not (the
{ghab}, for example, is just a chunk of the midsection of an
animal, including any organs that may have remained attached
after the carving)... A mixture of animal parts is {Daghtuj},
regardless of whether the parts are from the same type of animal.
[KGT 87f.]
