AFAIK never used in a sentence. 

(KGT 47):  In addition to these general terms, there are a number of specific words relating to specific types of battle or engagement. First of all, there is a set of verbs that can each be translated "clash with", "encounter", "engage", and the like, but these translations do not make the differences between the words clear. They are differentiated by degree, ranging from something like struggle in a minor skirmish to engage in a major melee. Arranged in ascending order of ferocity, they are: {Qor}, {tlhaS}, {vay}, {lul}, {Hargh}. If Klingons engaged in shadowboxing, {Qor} might be appropriately applied, while {Hargh} would be reserved only for situations approaching Armageddon.

PUN:  "clash" (?)
