AFAIK never used in a sentence.

Trek trivia:

After welcoming them aboard First Officer Worf dismissed the group of "replacement" crewmen for the IKC Rotarran saying, "{/Deen(?)/ ghomHa'!}" (DS9 "Sons & Daughters").  It wasn't subtitled or captioned, but this was how I heard it.  

This could be {DIghomHa'} "we dismiss them" though I don't know who "we" refers to in the scene.  Another option could be *{DaH ghomHa'!} "Disperse now!" (clipped, with a mis-remembered or badly pronounced {DaH}: *deeh* using the usual English pronunciation for final /h/).

OTOH the verb {ghom} "meet, encounter, assemble, rendezvous" has been used much more:
