AFAIK never used in a sentence.

raQ 			manipulate by hand, handle (v)
 
NOTE:
(KGT 97):  The smaller {nevDagh} [type of pot with handles] is characterized by its V-shaped handles, termed {DeSqIvDu'} ("elbows"; note the {-Du'}, the plural suffix for body parts is used here even though the handles are not literally body parts).
