AFAIK never used in a Klingon sentence.

KGT 88:  a bean (which, in this case, may mean the pod or the seed or seeds in it or both) is a {qurgh} 

{vIno'va' qurgh}  *finova* beans (KCD):

KCD:  If not cleaned properly, the *finova* bean can be deadly. Commander Klevis was forced to kill his cook after a badly-prepared batch of *finova* killed both his gunner and first officer.

KCD also reminds us that you can add {-mey} to make it clear that you're talking about more than one bean.

Weren't there some {tera' qurghmey} referred to in the "TalkNow! Klingon" materials.  I can't find any examples in my notes.
