It is now, or rather, it is again. Think of it like the old-fashioned verb "wed" in English. From Lieven's message yesterday:
Maltz says that, more and more, he's hearing an older
word, {tlhogh}. ... The noun {tlhogh} is quite common.
It means "marriage," and it can be used for anybody
marrying anybody. The verb {tlhogh}, however, was long
considered quaint or archaic.
Which is why only the noun was listed in TKD. Apparently it's making a comeback or, rather, it will be making a comeback (in the 24th century). To quote Chief O'Brien, "I hate temporal mechanics!" <g>
