AFAIL never used by Okrand in a sentence.

(KGT 97):  The smaller {nevDagh} 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).

(KGT 76):  The verb that means squeeze the bag part of the {DIron} ["bagpipes"], usually with the elbow, is {qeb}.
