AFAIK the verb has never been used, but the noun {Daw'} "revolt, revolution" does appear in the paq'batlh:
lujang meQboghnom 'oH, yeqchuqchu'taHghach Daw' je joqwI'
They reply it is the {meQboghnom}, the banner of unity and revolution. PB
KGT 157: Someone unsatisfied with the status quo, a rebel, might be said to want to {ngup qaD} (challenge those in charge; literally, "challenge the cape").
Trek trivia:
In 2267 Klingon agent Kras supported the Maab's revolt against the High Tier Akaar (leader of the "ten tribes of Capella") in hopes the new leader would award the Klingon Empire the rights to mine the rare mineral topaline on Capella IV. (TOS "Friday's Child")
Similar words:
lotlh rebel (v)
