In my notes I have the source as "KGT p. 191".  I don't have KGT with me so can someone check this?

Nomen agentis of {HIj} "deliver,  transport goods":

  yIHmey DaHIj'a'?
  ghobe', yIHmey vIHIjbe'.
  Are you transporting tribbles? 
  No, I'm not transporting tribbles. (CK)

  rura' pente'Daq Soj, Doch, <luch?> vIqIch.
  We is condemning food... things and supplies to Rura Penthe. (sic!) (ST6)

[I believe that this was intentional for {vIHIj}:  Uhura's Klingon was a bit rusty, after all.  IIRC correctly the Morskan guard chuckled at this mistake.]
