Never used in canon.

Related nouns:

{'uS} leg;  {qam} foot;  cf. also {qIvon} "body part (not further 
identified)" in KGT.

TKW 174:  It is not clear what a {qIvon} is, aside from the fact that it is 
a Klingon body part...

"Klingonese word (pronounced "KEE-von") for an object of anatomy, 
apparently coming at least in pairs: Kor's left *QiVon* aches whenever his 
ship hits Warp-Factor 8. (Blood Oath)" (STC:KLS)

The Okuda _Omnipedia_ identifies *QiVon* as being another word for knee.

Related verbs:

{tor} kneel
