AFAIK never used in a sentence, but cp. for example:

  meyrI'Daq 'oHtaH gho'e' 
  The circle is in the square. [qep'a' 2005]


PUN:  "letterbox"? (Lieven)

Cf. also:

loS reD mey' 	quadrilateral (n)
meyrI' 		square (n)

buq'Ir 		cube (n)
ngogh 		brick, block (n)

gho 			circle (n)
Dop 			side (n)
tajvaj 		angle (n)
