Definition: Bat'telh display
Source: 
_______________________________________________

AFAIK not used in a sentence.

Note spelling:  there's no "a" in {betleH}.

SEE:
bey'  		ceremonial display (n) (KGT < KCD)
     betleH bey' 	     bat'leth Display (KCD)
     nuH bey' 	     Pride of Weapons (KCD)
     quv bey' 	     Honor Display (KCD)

TREK NOTES:

"Where are all your weapons? Don't you display your weapons?" (Trelane to Kirk, TOS "The Squire of Gothos")

Mirror Kirk certainly does.  He had a display of exotic knives on the wall over his desk in his quarters on the ISS Enterprise. For that matter, everyone carries a knife on the Mirror Enterprise. (TOS "Mirror, Mirror")

And so does Worf.  A photo of what might be Worf's {nuH bey'} on the wall of his quarters on the Enterprise-D can be seen in TKW p.124 (cf. TNG "Genesis", et al.).
