AFAIK never used in a sentence.
KGT 58: A skin belt ({qogh}) both held pants (yopwaH) in place and provided a place from which to hang weapons or weapon holders.
KGT 56: The disruptor pistol, when not in use, may be carried in a holster, or {vaH}, worn on the side of the body and attached to the belt.
Okrand to Lieven L. Litaer (12/07/2010):
The word {buq} could be bag, sack, pouch or even pocket.
When clarity is needed, one could say, for example,
{yopwaH buq} "pants pouch" or {wep buq} "coat pouch" for
"pants pocket" or "coat pocket," but when the context is
clear, {buq} alone would suffice for pocket.
Related vocabulary:
yopwaH bID shorts (n) (TNK)
yopwaH buq pants pocket (n)
