As used in canon:
boq lucherDI' tlhIngan wo' romuluS Hov wo' je So'wI' cham Suqpu' tlhIngan wo'. chaq tampu'. chaq romuluSnganpu'vaD pIvghor cham lunobpu' tlhInganpu'
Cloaking technology was gained through an alliance with the Romulan Star Empire, possibly in exchange for Warp Drive technology. S33
Language notes:
KGT 21f.: For example, {chab chu'} (literally, "new pie") is another way to say "new invention" or "latest innovation". This is no doubt because the Krotmag pronunciation of {chab} (pie) is {cham}, the same as the word for technology.

HoS law'qu' luch law'qu' je lo' Duj nuH pat Hub pat je
A huge amount of the ship's power and technology is devoted to its weapons grid and defensive systems. SP3
