why there isn't a klingon word for "arrow".

How is it possible, that the almighty warrior race never
invented arrows or apparently never came to know them ?

I need to return the question: Have you ever seen a Klingon on

<p>No, but I've seen a Klingon on screen being <i>shot</i> by an
arrow!</p>
<p>Barring a dedicated word, I'd probably just use <b>naQjejHom,
chonnaQHom, </b>or<b> gnIntaqHom</b> as the situation
warranted. Maybe I'd say something like <b>naQjejHom vo'lu'bogh</b><i>
minor spear which is propelled;</i> maybe using <b>vo'</b>
instead of <b>chuH</b> is enough to show this just a small thrown
spear.</p>
<p>Oh, look! This question has been asked before:

<p>I don't have <i>Hamlet</i> handy. How did they translate <i>slings
and arrows</i>?<br>
