We have the {Daqrab} for "well", however it refers to a well which is constructed, rather a natural occuring one.

So, how do we describe the natural occuring type ? Can we say {Daqrab but} ? Although, perhaps this would mean "natural constructed well".

I’m not sure I know what a naturally occurring well would be in English. The English word “well” implies an artificial structure to me. Maybe a natural spring is what you’re thinking about? Maybe something like {bIQ Hal} or {bIQ QemjIq} would work for that, though obviously it would need the right context for it to be clear that this refers to a spring.

From Dictionary.com:

well

1. a hole drilled or bored into the earth to obtain water, petroleum, natural gas, brine, or sulfur.
2. a spring or natural source of water.

[etc.]

Now, Klingon does not share sense 2 with its noun Daqrab. I agree that bIQ Hal is a good description. I might also use ghItwI'Hom if it's a spring.
