Never used in a sentence. Cf. KGT (p.85):
Other than that which is served alive, the best meat is {ghoQ}
("fresh, just killed"). A vegetable or fruit that is {baQ} ("fresh,
just picked, just fallen off the plant"), on the other hand, is
not as favored as one that is {DeH} ("ripe", though "overripe"
might be closer to the mark) or even {QaD} ("dry, dried out").
