Among these are various drums and bells. The general term for a <br>>percussion instrument of any kind is {'In}.<br>> Some types of {'In} are struck with the hand, either palm ({toch}) or fist <br>>({ro'}), depending on the particular instrument. To hit the instrument with the palm <br>>is {weq}; to strike it with the fist is {tlhaw'}. Other members of this group of <br>>instruments are hit with a stick of some kind. The stick often resembles a small <br>>hammer; when it does, it is termed {mupwI'Hom} (literally, "small striker"). A plain <br>>stick is a {naQHom} (literally, "small cane" or "small staff"). To strike the <br>>instrument with a stick is to {moq} (beat) the instrument.<br>> The {'In} itself may be made entirely of metal (in which case it might be <br>>described as a bell, though in Klingon it is simply termed {baS 'In}, or metal <br>>{'In}) or entirely of wood ({Sor Hap 'In}, wood {'In}). One kind of {Sor Hap 'In} is <br>>a tube, open on both ends, with a longitudinal slit extending not quite to either <br>>end. It is hit with a {mupwI'Hom}.<br>> Drums made of animal skin stretched over a cylinder of various materials are <br>>found but are not as common as other types of percussion instruments. Such a drum is <br>>called a {DIr 'In} (literally, "skin {'In}). A {DIr 'In} usually has the skin <br>>stretched only over one end. A type of drum with skin stretched over both ends is <br>>called a {'o'lav}.<br>><br>>SEE:<br>>Sor tree (n)<br>>Sor Hap wood (as material) (n)<br>>'In percussion instrument (drum, bell, etc.) (n)</div><br></div>
