I can't understand 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 screen shooting arrows?
No, but I've seen a Klingon on screen being /shot/ by an arrow! Barring a dedicated word, I'd probably just use *naQjejHom, chonnaQHom, *or*gnIntaqHom* as the situation warranted. Maybe I'd say something like *naQjejHom vo'lu'bogh*/minor spear which is propelled;/ maybe using *vo'* instead of *chuH* is enough to show this just a small thrown spear. Oh, look! This question has been asked before: https://scifi.stackexchange.com/questions/97330/klingon-for-arrow I don't have /Hamlet/ handy. How did they translate /slings and arrows/? -- SuStel http://trimboli.name
