Never used in a sentence.
Cultural notes:
KGT 97: The general term for a pot is {'un}. Pots that may be put on top of a fire in order to heat their contents are made of metal ({baS}); others may be made of either metal or ceramic material ({nagh} [literally, "stone"]). A {bargh} is probably the most frequently used pot. It is rather large and has a flattened bottom.
KGT 27: For example, while a large, flat-bottomed pot usually called a {bargh}, in some regions it is a {vutmeH 'un} ("pot for preparing [food]"), sometimes shortened to simply {vut'un}.
KGT 27-28: In some regions, a {bargh} made of metal is a {mIv} (which also means "helmet", even though, historically speaking, helmets are not necessarily made of metal), or a {mIv bargh} ("helmet pot"), while a ceramic {bargh} is called a {chor} (literally, "belly") or {chor bargh} ("belly pot").
Related nouns:
