Lieven L. Litaer (LL): We all know the word {nav} from TKD, which
   is simply labeled as "paper". In the Klingon Monopoly, it is
   used in a phrase {Huch nav} meaning a bill, in the sense of
   money. Can this word also be used for a "sheet of paper"?

Marc Okrand (MO): Yes, that's also {nav}.

[...]

MO:  Here are some more words related to paper: a letter, that is
   a message written on a sheet of paper and sent to someone is a
   {nav QIn}. An envelope is called {nav vaH}. In context, {vaH}
   by itself is enough. The word {vaH} can actually be used for
   everything you put something inside of it. It's a cover for it.
   A bill, a payment request, something you must pay, is a {ghogh'ot}.
