AFAIK never used in a sentence.

ghe'naQ nIt 	grand opera

KGT 73:  the traditional style, sometimes called {ghe'naQ nIt} (perhaps "grand opera", though literally something like "unsullied opera") is preferred by purists.

Culinary notes:

KGT 85:  Klingons tend to be quite enthusiastic about {yuch} (chocolate), at least in its purest forms.

PUN: 
"neat" (WRT to alcoholic beverages)

Related verbs:

watlh 		be pure
baQ 			be fresh, be just picked
tlhol 		be raw, be unprocessed
qal 			be corrupt (possible antonym?)
