Never used in canon.

Note the series of speech-related verbs beginning with {ja-}:  {jach} 
scream, cry out; {jang} answer, reply; {jat} speak incoherently, mumble 
(slang); {jatlh} say, speak; {jatlhHa'} say the wrong thing, misspeak; 
{ja'} tell, report; {ja'chuq  discuss.  Could these are be derived from the 
noun {jat} "tongue"?
