AFAIK never used in canon.
HQ 12.2:9: To begin to sing a song is to {lIH} (literally, "introduce") the song, and that portion of the song that comes at the beginning--a portion that is often so familiar that listeners know what song it is after hearing just that short portion--is the {namtun}.
Related verbs:
ghom meet, encounter
qIH meet (for the first time)
pIH expect
Notice the set of verbs {pIH}, {qIH} and {lIH} -- surely not a coincidence!
