Never used in official canon, but I do have this comment from "Vixis"
admiring "Klaa" in the extra "making of" featurette on the ST5 DVD:
toH, SomrawDu' Dunqu'!
Oh, what wonderful muscles!
Did Okrand write this (and other extra lines) while tutoring of the actors
for ST5? Whoever did used {-qu'} idiomatically as well as the correct
{-Du'} plural suffix for body parts.

Cf. also {to'waQ} "ligament, tendon".
