Since it's what I do, here are some related words:
bagh tie (v)
rar connect, attach (v)
nIq weave (v)
naw' access (v)
'ol verify (v)
naw' access (n)
ngoq code (n)
ngoqDe' encoded message (n)
Hung buv [security clearance/classification?] (n)
And here are a couple of code related sentences/phrases:
Hung buv rav: patlh Hut
classified level 9 and above (KBoP)
DIvI' Se' wI'IjtaHvIS DaH ngoqDe' wIHevta'.
We've just received an encoded message on the Federation frequency. (ST5 notes)
(BTW note the use of {'Ij} "listen" for [routine?] monitoring or "listening in" on enemy communications. I might have used {Daq} "eavesdrop".)
