Actually {HovpoH} is listed in KGT. As used in canon:
HovpoH Hut vagh cha' wa' vI' jav Dujvam 'aghlu'pu' 'ach Qaw'lu'pu'
[This ship was demonstrated on Stardate 9521.6 but it was destroyed.] S33
tera' poH jaj wa', jar wa', jaj loSDIch, DIS wa'-Hut-Hut-chorgh:
HovpoHvetlh latlh nab yIHutlh
Save this Stardate: Sunday, January 4, 1998. STX
From my notes:
The Star Trek Encyclopedia CD-ROM defines "stardate" thusly: "Timekeeping system used to provide a standard galactic temporal reference, compensating for relativistic time dilation, warp-speed displacement, and other peculiarities of interstellar space travel. (To those interested in the minutiae of stardate computation ... we shamelessly refer you to Appendix I in the 1996 edition of our book, _Star Trek Chronology: The History of the Future_, by Michael Okuda and Denise Okuda)..."
