<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="color:black">(Qov < Okrand, 8/13/2012): The word for screw is
<b>Hut'In vIl</b>, which is, of course, a ridgy <b>Hut'In</b>. Turns out <b>Hut'In</b> is the word for
<i>nail</i>. Maltz also volunteered that the word for <i>spike</i> is <b>wIl</b>.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="color:black">(KGT 61): A spike is a <b>DuQwI'</b> and the small spikes on the
<i>d'k tahg</i> are usually called <b>DuQwI'Hommey</b> (<i>little spikes</i>).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">(KGT 58): A warrior's glove (<b>pogh</b>), also made of skin, had wide band around the wrist and sharp protrusions at the knuckles. If there was a special name for these protrusions, it is lost; they are now called simply
<b>DuQwI'mey</b> (<i>spikes</i>).<br>
<br>
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">(KGT 58): On the toe of each high boot (<b>DaS</b>), likewise made of animal hide (<b>DIr</b>), was a clawlike spike called a
<b>pu'</b>. The word <b>pu'</b> now means <i>phaser</i>, and the newer meaning probably developed from the older spike because of the lightning speed with which one delivered a blow with the sharp
<b>pu'</b>. In contemporary Klingon, the spike on the toe of a boot is always called a
<b>DaSpu'</b> (<i>boot spike</i>), never <b>pu'</b> alone.<br>
<br>

<p class="MsoPlainText">(KGT 67) : Included in this category is the <b>ghanjaq</b>, often translated as
<i>mace</i>, a club with a metal head, sometimes sporting spikes (<b>DuQwI'mey</b>).
