AFAIK never used in canon.  Any {bobcho'mey} in the {paq'batlh}?

This is not the same thing as {'ay'} "section, part, component, piece".  Compare {'ay'mey tetlh} "components/parts list" in the BOP Poster title:

  tlhIngan toQDuj 'ay'mey tetlh 
  Klingon Bird of Prey technical callouts 

Unofficially, I've seen {bobcho'} used for pod, capsule (on a rocket), chamber, cell (e.g. spy organization) and even apartment.  E.g.:

  *De' bobcho' 			data module?
  *narghmeH bobcho' 		escape pod?
  *rugh ngaSmeH bobcho' 	antimatter containment pod?
  *yIntagh bobcho' 		stasis unit/pod?

  *bobcho'lIj bobcho'wIj ghap?
   Your module or mine?
