Never used in a sentence.

*Qa'vak* is a traditional game that hones the skills of the hunt involving 
rolling a half-meter hoop and a {ghIntaq} spear (TKW).  Seen in TNG 
"Birthright II".

The expression "The hoop is moving" {vIHtaH gho} "comes from a maneuver 
used for hunting practice known as the {qa'vaQ} in which a hoop ({gho}) is 
rolled and one tries to throw a stick through it while it is moving" (KGT 
p. 112).
