AFAIK the noun has never been used in a sentence. Note the homophonous verb {ngong} "experiment":
ngongmeH wa' DujDaq nuHmey nISbe'bogh So'wI' jomlu'pu'
[A cloaking device which didn't disrupt weaponry was installed in
one experimental ship. (untranslated on card)] S33
N.B. {ngongmeH Duj} "experimental ship, prototype" (?)
