AFAIK never used in a sentence.
KGT 85: The closest equivalent to sweet is probably {na'ran rur} ("resembles a *naran*," a fruit whose juice is sometimes added to sauces as a contrast to the other flavors) ... Despite the general absence of sweet foods from their diet, Klingons tend to be quite enthusiastic about {yuch} (chocolate), at least in its purest forms.

HaQchor saccharin (n)
wIb be sour (v)
*{wIbHa'} or *{wIbHa'moH} are sometimes used on the List for "be sweet" or "sweeten" - though "un-sour" might be a better translation: e.g. adding {Su'ghar qutmey}, {HaQchor}, {na'ran vIychorgh}, etc. to your {Dargh} or {qa'vIn}.
