(KGT 56f):  A {peng} is launched from a tube usually called a {DuS}, but another term, {chetvI'}, is also used, the distinction having something to do with how the projectile is actually loaded into the tube. The verb used for launch or fire a weapon of this type is {baH}, and there is even a special word, {ghuS}, meaning prepare to launch.
