Never used in a sentence.

Musical notes:

KGT 76:  Each string is a {SIrgh}, a word also used for any thread or filament. ... To produce music, one may either pluck ({pang}) or strum ({yach} ... the strings. The tone produced is varied by touching the string or strings at various points while plucking or strumming. The verb used for this, perhaps translatable as to finger, is the same as the one used for wind instruments: {Heng}. The word {HurDagh} refers to any of these stringed instruments, of which there are several different types, the most commonly found being the relatively small {Supghew}. The midsize {leSpal} is fairly widely used, while the large {tIngDagh} is rarely heard except in conjunction with the performance of an opera.
