Never used in canon.

Cf. the nouns {tay} "ceremony, rite, ritual" and {tayqeq} "civilization" 
and the verbs {tay} "be civilized", {Hach} "be developed (e.g. a 
civilization)" and {'Itlh} "be advanced, be highly developed".

Qov once observed that "while our definition of maturity is cities 
(CIVilization) theirs is ritual ({nentay}, {Heghtay}, {muvtay})."
