AFAIK not used in a sentence. If you're interested, this word was "discovered" for the translation of Alice:
»What I was going to say,« said the Dodo in an offended tone, »was, that the best thing to get us dry would be a Caucus-race.« {»vay' vIchupta' vIneH,« jatlh cha'Do' 'ej ghaH mawlaw' ghu', »maQaD'eghmoHmeH wa' mIw lI'qu' vISov: yejquv Do qaD 'oH.«} First it marked out a race-course, in a sort of circle, [...] {taghDI’, ravDaq Do qaD He ghItlh, loQ gho rur. } -- Lieven L.
