<p>It's a DeCandidovian Klingon word, not (yet) an Okrandian Klingon word.</p>

<p>From "Honor Bound":<br>
"Each grenade was a hollow metal oval, into which they had placed the sand from the shores of the Prime Village and a small glass bottle containing {ngIS} — a lubricant used on the disruptor cannons, and which the {Gorkon} had in plentiful supply. Throwing the grenade with sufficient force would break the bottle upon impact with a solid surface — they had been using B'Oraq's specimen bottles, which were fairly fragile — causing an explosive chemical reaction with one of the minerals in the sand."</p>
<p>I'm no chemist, and I don't know what kind of lubricant would react explosively with a mineral found in beach sand. A cannon lubricant that explodes under any condition sounds kind of like a bad idea to me.<br>
