AFAIK no used in a sentence.

SEE ALSO:
bIQDep  	fish (n)
ghotI' 		fish (n)
  -  "the most general word for fish", of which there are several varieties" (HQ 10.4)
  -  "Marc told me the following, said with my own words: First, a {ghotI'} is a true fish, the animal that children would draw if they hear the word "fish".  A {bIQDep} covers most animals that live in the sea.  Marc gave as possible examples "dolphins, whales, fish, octopus" but he said it's not used for shrimps or even smaller animals like water bugs.  When asked for a seal, he said that a seal or a sealion does not really live IN the water, so that's probably not a {bIQDep}.  Every {ghotI'} is a {bIQDep}, but not every {bIQDep} is a {ghotI'}." (Lieven, 11/01/2015)

nIwqen 		gill (n)
mIjDang 	fin, flipper (n)
