AFAIK {Hej} has never used in a canon sentence, but {nIH} "steal" has been:
DanIH
You steal it. KLS
leng chaw'wIj nIHlu'ta'
Someone stole my passport. TNK
nurraj nIHlu'ta'mo' manoD
We will avenge your stolen pride PB (early draft?)
le'yo'raj nIHlu'ta'mo' penoD jatlh qeylIS
And Kahless spoke to them ... about avenging their stolen pride PB
Cultural notes:
KGT 153: the *Hur'q*, a race of humanoids from the Gamma Quadrant who developed a reputation as ruthless invaders who would attack other societies primarily for the purpose of robbery, stealing whatever they could and destroying the rest.
