AFAIK only used in a non-canon DISCOVERY subtitle:

Dat butbogh Dochmey, yInbogh qa' je jemlaH vay'. 
Everywhere you go, you can feel the symbiosis between nature 
  and the living spirit. (DSC/sub "Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum")

CULTURAL NOTES:
(KGT 84):  All food is considered to be good in its natural state; it takes the intervention of a cook to ruin it. Thus, the word {'eyHa'}, used to describe food that is edible but is not particularly tasty, means something like "undelicious", implying that someone caused it to cease being delicious.

(KGT 92ff):  There is an alternate way of preparing {quD} [a type of sauce] that involves using chemicals to do the job of the animal's stomach enzymes. Klingon gourmets distinguish between the two by referring to {quD} made in the natural way as {burgh quD} (stomach {quD}), as opposed to the artificially produced {'un quD} (pot {quD}). Though nutritionally identical, {burgh quD}, when available, is always preferable to {'un quD}.
