AFAIK never used in a sentence.

HQ 12.3:  Maltz mentioned one noun associated with these verbs, {DavHam}, which he defined simply as "false honor", but which really covers the same semantic ground as both {HoQ} ["be honored falsely, be falsely honorable"] and {Qaq} ["behave falsely honorably, behave in a falsely honorable manner"] (but not really {mIl} ["be formerly honored"]). {DavHam} is different from {quvHa'ghach} "dishonor" (noun) in that the latter does not imply seeming to be honorable or the appearance of honorability, but rather the lack of or loss of honor.
