Cf. the homophonous verb {jech} "disguise".
Neither used in canon.
Cultural notes:
KGT 4: a Klingon, though not predisposed to deception, may, if necessary or potentially beneficial, disguise his or her identity by imitating the speech of a member of another group.
TKW 145: when a warrior dies, his spirit appears, whereas prior to death it was hidden or disguised by the body.
