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.
