Actually, from what I understand, this wasn't from the paq'batlh session; I believe it was given as some sort of teaser for Klingon Monopoly (which I don't think we were aware of at the time, apart from MO and vavoy).

Used in canon:

 voHDajbo' wellu' 200
 Mortgaged for 200. MKE

 yervamvaD voHDajbo' wellu'chugh, 'echletHom Dopvam yIcha'
 Card must be turned this side up if property is mortgaged. MKE

ghunchu'wI' discusses {wel} which was introduced in the opera {'u'}:

  When someone has earned a reward but the prize is not yet
  available to be given, the person in charge of presenting it
  can say {qawel} "I owe you}. It is probably also appropriate
  when you have convinced someone to give you some service or
  product with the understanding that you will pay for it later.
  [ghunchu'wI', 8/21/11]

N.B. one owes a mortgage {voHDajbo' wel} but pays rent/sum (of money) {qav'ap DIl}:

 HoSHal ghajchugh vay', mI' naghmey tIronmoH. wa'maHlogh boq'egh
   mI' naghmey; chen qav'ap. ghajwI'vaD qav'ap yIDIl.
 If [energy source is] owned, throw dice and pay owner a total
   ten times amount shown. MKE

 Duj ghajchugh vay', cha'logh boq'egh qav'ap motlh; chen qav'ap le'.
   ghajwI'vaD qav'ap le' yIDIl.
 If [ship is] owned, pay owner twice the rental to which they are
   otherwise entitled. MKE

But see also:
