Never used in a sentence.
KGT 92: One way to bring fermentation about is to mix the food with a fungus (known as {'atlhqam}) usually scraped off the bottom of certain animals' feet, though it also grows on trees.
And on Earth, apparently on the ground: cf. {tera' yav 'atlhqam} "mushrooms" (TNK).
PUN:
"athlete's foot"!
