{https://klingon.wiki/En/HolQeDv10n4 "Birds") : Some other words associated with birds are the nouns {Qim} egg, {pach} claw, talon, {tel} wing, {neb} beak, bill, and {bo} feather; and the verbs {puv} fly, {qaj} soar, {wom} peck (used for both eating and attacking by pecking), {ngun} perch (the verb {Saq} is used if the bird alights on the ground, {tlhot} if it lands on the water), and {laq} flap. Regarding the last word, Maltz pointed out that, in flight, a bird's wings {laq} (the bird is said to {laqmoH} its wings), but when a banner or sail flaps, the correct word to use is {joq} flap, flutter, wave.
