Never used in canon.
This is of course the nomen agentis of the verb {nIH} "steal".
Related verbs include {Hej} "rob" and {qor} "scavenge".
Cultural notes:
KGT 153: ... the Hur'q, a race of humanoids from the Gamma Quadrant who
developed a reputation as ruthless invaders who would attack other
societies primarily for the purpose of robbery, stealing whatever they
could and destroying the rest.
