AFAIK not used in a sentence.

(KGT 89):  Agriculture (Satlh) is practiced to a certain extent, though it is common to gather uncultivated plants as well. Fruit or vegetables that come from a farm (Du') are called either {naH} alone or {Du' naH} ("farm fruit or vegetable" or "produce"); the wild variety is termed {naH tlhab} (literally, "free fruit or vegetable"). The verb {yob} (harvest) is used to refer to gathering up plants or plant parts, whether from a field (yotlh) that has been sown or out in the wild. The verb meaning farm is {wIj}; that meaning plant (referring to vegetation of any kind) is {poch}. One may say {Sor poch} ("He/she plants a tree"), {lav poch} ("He/she plants a shrub}), and even {naH poch} ("He/she plants fruit or vegetables"), referring to the ultimate use of the plant as a food source ... Klingons generally {Sep} (breed) small animals such as {gharghmey} (worms).

(KGT 63):  the smaller {naH taj} (literally, "vegetable knife" or "fruit knife", a kind of knife used for training but also for cutting parts off of growing plants.
