AFAIK never used in canon.

Related verbs:
cho' =A0 =A0succeed (to authority)
gheS =A0 =A0assume duties of, take on responsibilities
Sugh =A0 =A0install (in office)"
moj =A0 =A0 become

De'vID:
Is there any reason to believe that this means "relieve (from duty)" rather=
 than "relieve (from pain, anxiety, distress, etc.)"? =A0Is the word "relie=
ve" used in any of the Star Trek movie dialogue spoken by Klingons?


AFAIK it's never been used anywhere.  The only evidence - more like a hint =
really - is {SonchIy}.  Although how {Son} would be different from {gheS} o=
r {cho'} is unknown.

Does it occur in the {paq'batlh}?
