We have the {Daqrab} for "well", however it refers to a well which is constructed, rather a natural occuring one.
So, how do we describe the natural occuring type ? Can we say {Daqrab but} ? Although, perhaps this would mean "natural constructed well".

<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">I’m not sure I know what a naturally occurring well would be in English. The English word “well” implies an artificial structure to me. Maybe a natural spring is what you’re thinking about? Maybe something like {bIQ Hal} or {bIQ QemjIq} would work for that, though obviously it would need the right context for it to be clear that this refers to a spring.</pre>

<p>From Dictionary.com:</p>
<blockquote>
<p><b>well</b></p>
<ol>
<li>a hole drilled or bored into the earth to obtain water,
petroleum, natural gas, brine, or sulfur.</li>
<li>a spring or natural source of water.</li>
</ol>
<p>[etc.]</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Now, Klingon does not share sense 2 with its noun <b>Daqrab.</b>
I agree that <b>bIQ Hal</b> is a good description. I might also
use <b>ghItwI'Hom</b> if it's a spring.<br>
