AFAIK never used in a sentence.

KGT 65ff.  The most ancient and primitive of the Klingon weapons is the {jeqqIj}, the club or bludgeon. This weapon is made of wood, sometimes with inlaid rocks, and is heavier at one end than the other. Included in this category is the {ghanjaq}, often translated as "mace", a club with a metal head, sometimes sporting spikes ({DuQwI'mey}). As with axes, to wield or swing a club is {Qach}.

KGT 67:  a {ghanjaq vaQ} is an especially nice mace.

There's a good photo of two {ghanjaqmey} in TKW (p.204).
