<p>There is a note from Alice in Wonderland, which describes growing a mustache, but it's probably also useful for referring to beards and other forms of hair, too:</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>-----------</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>And for "grow" as in "grow a mustache," make use of {nargh}, as in {nargh lochwIj} "I'm growing a mustache." (To indicate that you're doing it on purpose, you could say {nargh lochwIj 'e' vIchaw'} "I'm letting my mustache grow" or something similar.)</p>

toDuj 'oS rol <br>
A beard is a symbol of courage. (TKW)<br>
<br>
molor rol chIpchu' qeylIS 'ej teq <br>
Kahless cut off Molor’s beard (PB)<br>
<br>
(TKW 85): Fighting in such close proximity to one another, a beard may be thought of by some as a disadvantage since one of the combatants may grab onto the beard of the other and draw him closer. To wear a beard, and long hair for that matter, shows that
one is both brave and confident--willing to give the opponent the upper hand, and secure that one’s own skills are superior.<br>
<br>
(qurgh, 7/28/2017 < qep’a’ 2017): I asked [Okrand] about {jIb}, {pob}, {loch} and {rol} after there was a conversation about it in the Learn Klingon Facebook group. {jIb} is only hair on the top of your head, {loch} is the hair on your upper lip, {rol} is
the hair on your face that covers you chin/neck area, and {pob} is hair from the neck down. Arm hair is {DeS pob}. The words cover both the hair and the entire construction, so {rol} refers to a beard as well as the hair that makes up the beard. However,
ear hair or nose hair is talked about using {pob}, and {pob} can be used to talk about face hair or head hair but it would be considered very strange to do so.<br>
