AFAIK not used in a sentence.  This is the standard form. 

PUN:
(James Landau):  Backwards, this is {nej Qap} -- "seek-win"

(qepHom 2024):  There is also a slang version: {HovHom}.

PUN: 
"Twinkle, twinkle, little star. How I wonder what you are. Up above the world so high, like a diamond in the sky." (children's song)

What's the connection of "twinkle twinkle little star" to the things above?
