Used in canon:

   tlhIngan yoH ghegh verengan yoH Hab
   The Klingon is braver than the Ferengi (slang) KGT

   tlhIngan yoH Hab verengan yoH ghegh
   The Klingon is braver than the Ferengi (slang) KGT

Not canon, but here's Seqram's translation of the epigraph to _The Klingon 
Hamlet_ (KLI):

   naDev qonwI' qab'e' Dalegh:
   SeQpIr qab 'IHmoH QuchDaj ghegh

   This figure, that thou seest here put,
   It was for gentle Shakespeare cut
   (lit. "Shakespeare's rough forehead beautifies his face.")

Related verbs:

{tlher} "lumpy" & {vIl} be ridgy (forehead); ant. {Hab} "smooth"
