AFAIK never used in a sentence.

I haven't talked with ***** about saucepan, but here's what I
was thinking. The picture is, as you say, a little pot (or pan)
with a single handle, which is exactly what a saucepan is [...]
{'un} is any sort of pot or pan, so the picture is a picture of
a {'un} (though lots of other pictures might also be used for
{'un}). A {nevDagh} has two little handles on it, so the picture
is not one of a {nevDagh}. Thinking a bit more about it, perhaps
{'unHom} would have been better--or at least more restrictive.
Or maybe there should be a new word. Like {Se'tu'}.
[I suspect a pun here, but I can't see it!]
Speaking of sauce, here are some we know of:
ghevI' sauce for {qagh}
'uSu' sauce for {tlhatlh} (*gladst*)
qettlhup an all-purpose sauce (a thickened version of {chanDoq})
gha'poq *grapok* sauce (used on *gagh* or *racht*)
