*{lupDuj} works for "passenger shuttle, transport ship, runabout (?),  starliner", etc.  There were regular shuttles from DS9 to Bajor. (DS9 various episodes)  A Klingon civilian transport carrying 441 passengers was alleged to have been destroyed by the Defiant near the Pentath System. It had apparently decloaked (?!) in front of the Defiant during a battle. (DS9 "Rules of Engagement")

Note however {muD Duj}  "airplane" from TalkNow Klingon (TNK).
