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?
