_______________________________________________

AFAIK not used in a sentence.

TREK TRIVIA:
(STEncyclopedia [1994] p.355):  "TURN.  English translation of the Klingon term for a year, as in one turn (or revolution) of a planet around its sun." (TNG "Sins of the Father") 

"Turn" is used twice in that episode:

DURAS [to the High Council]:  For many turns, the truth about Khitomer 
               has lain dormant. Unknown. Now the truth has been revealed.

KURN:    I should have known. Worf was right. It is a good day to die. 
DURAS:  The time has not yet come. It does not have to come for many 
                turns.  I know who you are, Kurn. Son of Mogh.
