HQ 12.4 p8: If one were to {chuy} "sneeze", one would likely eject {'IqnaH} "mucus" (or sometimes {'IgnaH QaD} "dry mucus").
Worf is allergic to Data's cat; brief exposure makes him sneeze. (TNG "Phantasms")
PUN: achoo!
Similar verbs:
tuS cough
tlhuH breathe
Hob yawn
tlhov wheeze
jev wheeze
Is {chuyDaH} "thrusters" - {chuy} + {DaH} "bank, array" - related? (They do eject exhaust gases with some force that propel the vehicle.)
