Not? sure if this made an impact here when the book was released, but "ST Constellations The Leader"? by Dave Galanter apparently had some assistance from MO, maybe not 'new' words, but 'canon' usage:
from the annotations to the book on line :

"Tera'ngan Ha'DIbah!"
Klingonese, a language devoloped by Marc Okrand for Star Trek: The Motion Picture. Translated literally: "Terran animal!" While Klingonese isn't heard in the 79 episode run of TOS, it is called Klingonese by a Klingon in "The Trouble with Tribbles" (TOS).

Wild Qaj
A type of Klingon animal (supposedly with brown lips) as found at the Klingon Language Institute.

yIntaH qIrq 'e' vIneH.? DaSwIj bIngDaq latlhpu' vItap.
Klingonese translation provided by Marc Okrand from my English: "Kirk I want alive. The rest I will grind beneath my boot." Marc told me that literally the line is: "I want that Kirk keeps living.? I will
mash the others under my boot."

qab yon Da'agh.? qablIj yon yI'aghHa' 'aghHa'pa' 'etlhwIj.
Marc Okrand again translated my English line into Klingon. I gave him "Scrape that smug look from your face before my blade does it for you" and he gave me back this, saying literally it was: "You display a satisfied face.? Dis-display your satisfied face before my blade dis-displays it."
chobelHa'moH, DI'qar.? SajlIj 'oHbe' quvwIj'e'.
More Marc Okrand goodness. My line was "You disappoint me, D'Kar.? My honor is not your play-thing," and Marc handed back this Klingonese. (Literally: "You displease me, D'Kar.? My honor is not your pet.") It was fantastic for Marc to take his time to translate these lines for me, and I owe him big.
