Never used in canon.

Related noun:

{nugh} "society (group of people with a shared culture); {tlham} "order, 
structure (societal) [slang]"

See also {tIgh} "custom" which I think can sometimes be used for "culture" 
in the sense of shared behaviors.  (Note that the KLingon parallel title of 
"The Klingon Way" is {tlhIngan tIgh} and that Okrand sometimes inscribes 
{tlhIngan tIgh DaHaDrup'a'?} on books and photos.)

Related verbs:

Hach "be developed (e.g. a civilization)"; {'Itlh} "be advanced, highly 
developed"; {tay} "be civilized"
