AFAIK never used in a Klingon sentence.
KGT 88: a bean (which, in this case, may mean the pod or the seed or seeds in it or both) is a {qurgh}
{vIno'va' qurgh} *finova* beans (KCD):
KCD: If not cleaned properly, the *finova* bean can be deadly. Commander Klevis was forced to kill his cook after a badly-prepared batch of *finova* killed both his gunner and first officer.
KCD also reminds us that you can add {-mey} to make it clear that you're talking about more than one bean.
Weren't there some {tera' qurghmey} referred to in the "TalkNow! Klingon" materials. I can't find any examples in my notes.
