This spelling is influenced by the Qotmagh Sep pronunciation of DuH - "possibility".
KGT:
Hoch nuH qel ("consider every weapon")
This is an idiom cloaked in the terminology of the military that has a wider application. It is used to mean "Consider every possibility" or "Consider every option," with the word nuH ("weapon") standing metaphorically for "possibility." (Hoch means "all, every" and qel is "consider, take into account.") It is not a set phrase, so it is heard in various forms, such as a command (Hoch nuH yIqel!---literally, "Consider every weapon!" but meaning "Consider every possibility!"), question (Hoch nuH Daqel'a'? ["Did you consider every weapon?"]), or statement (Hoch nuH wIqelpu' ["We've considered every weapon"]), and it can be negated (Hoch nuH qelbe' ["He/she does not consider every weapon"]). The regular word for "possibility" is DuH, and, grammatically, there is no reason it could not occur instead of nuH in these sentences (Hoch DuH yIqel ["Consider every possibility!"] is a perfectly well formed sentence), but this is simply not the normal way to express the advice. The use of nuH ("weapon") for DuH ("possibility") may have been influenced by the Krotmag dialect pronunciation of DuH as something very close to nuH (see The Fiction of Klingon Conformity, under "Pronunciation," pages 18--23).
