Never used in canon.

Relate words:

KGT 48:  Common militaristic acts also have associated terminology, both verbs ({DoHmoH}, drive back; {Hub}, defend; {yot}, invade; {weH}, raid (same as {yot}, really, but with the added connotation of surprise or speed), {HIv}, attack, assault; {Sev}, contain; {HeD}, retreat, withdraw) and nouns ({yot}, invasion, raid, incursion; {Hub}, defense).

There's also the verb {Huj} "charge (up)".  Some think this means charge in the electrical sense, but Okrand has  AFAIK never commented on this verb nor used it in a sentence.  If this is what he had in mind, it seems to duplicate the verb {rIH} "energize".  Perhaps something to do with charging (adding energy) to a battery, phaser, etc.?
