It's a DeCandidovian Klingon word, not (yet) an Okrandian Klingon word.

From "Honor Bound":
"Each grenade was a hollow metal oval, into which they had placed the sand
from the shores of the Prime Village and a small glass bottle containing
{ngIS} =97 a lubricant used on the disruptor cannons, and which the {Gorkon=
}
had in plentiful supply. Throwing the grenade with sufficient force would
break the bottle upon impact with a solid surface =97 they had been using
B'Oraq's specimen bottles, which were fairly fragile =97 causing an explosi=
ve
chemical reaction with one of the minerals in the sand."
I'm no chemist, and I don't know what kind of lubricant would react
explosively with a mineral found in beach sand. A cannon lubricant that
explodes under any condition sounds kind of like a bad idea to me.
