AFAIK never used in a Klingon sentence.
Lieven L. Litaer reported (12/07/2010):
[Maltz] thought more about it and said maybe another way
to say pillow was {QongDaq buq} "bed pouch", but he said
that could also apply to a sleeping bag. Perhaps a
sleeping bag is {QongDaq buq'a'} and a pillow is {QongDaq
buqHom}. The word {buq} could be bag, sack, pouch or
even pocket. When clarity is needed, one could say, for
example, {yopwaH buq} "pants pouch" or {wep buq} "coat
pouch" for "pants pocket" or "coat pocket," but when the
context is clear, {buq} alone would suffice for pocket.
Another known type of {buq} is the {leng buq} "suitcase" (TNK).
