AFAIK not yet used in a sentence.

CULTURAL NOTES:

(CK): As you practice speaking, remember: Speak Klingon boldly; do not be meek or hesitant. This could be interpreted as a sign of weakness, a less than admirable trait among Klingons.

(KGT 172):  Agreeing is not a trait typically associated with Klingon nature, however, and apparently, at least under certain circumstances, this may extend to grammar as well.

(KGT 142):  For a visitor to a Klingon settlement, of course, the fate of any given trait is only of academic interest.

(KGT 138):  the characteristic patterns of younger people's speech, if noticed and commented upon, are more likely to be judged sloppy or careless rather than wrong. 

(KGT 113-115):  If {Duj} is taken to mean ship, {vaj Duj} ("warrior ship") would suggest that the ship itself has the characteristics of a warrior, a perfectly reasonable notion.
