Used in canon:

tlhIngan yoH Hab verengan yoH ghegh
The Klingon is braver than the Ferengi (slang) KGT
Not canon, but here's Seqram's translation of the epigraph to _The Klingon
Hamlet_ (KLI):
naDev qonwI' qab'e' Dalegh:
SeQpIr qab 'IHmoH QuchDaj ghegh
This figure, that thou seest here put,
It was for gentle Shakespeare cut
(lit. "Shakespeare's rough forehead beautifies his face.")
Related verbs:
{tlher} "lumpy" & {vIl} be ridgy (forehead); ant. {Hab} "smooth"
