Thanks for reminding us of this:
(The Little Prince, notes): The horn of an animal, same word as the spike on a boot (or a spike in general). When clarity is called for, say {Ha'DIbaH pu'} or {DI'raq loD pu'}. The plural of {pu'} is either {pu'mey} or {pu'Du'}, depending on the specific meaning of {pu'}.

{mov} reminds me of a Klingon word we really should have. In TNG
"Ethics" is a close-up of Worf's bare feet, and he has a lump of flesh
about a centimeter tall on top of each foot at the location
corresponding to the {DaSpu'} on a Klingon boot.* I feel certain there
is a Klingon word for this anatomical feature.
I think the answer is easier than you might expect. There is a word {pu'} "horn", and as the "boot horn" is {DaSpu'}, I believe there is a connection.
