AFAIK never used in a sentence.

Cultural notes:

On the idiom {qagh Sopbe'} "He doesn't eat gagh!":

  Everyone loves gagh, so if one is not eating it, something
  must be wrong. This expression is used to mean that there
  is something wrong with someone or that someone is acting
  suspiciously... For Klingons... this is a rather mild
  dismissive remark, not a strong insult.  [TKW 137]

Related verbs:

pIH 		be suspicious
voqHa' 	distrust
voq 		trust

chun 	be innocent
DIv 		be guilty

-law' 	"suspect that", etc.
