Is there an answer as to whether we {baH} or {bach} a {naQjejHom}?
Is there a right answer to this? Or do we pick one in random? Or do we ask qeylIS? Or do we consult with the oracle of the Cat of the Underground?
I believe that *baH* is used for self-propelled weapons, while *bach* is used for unpowered attacks projected from a device, and *chuH* is for unpowered hurled attacks. I base this simply on the glosses and examples we have, not an explicit description. That would mean you *bach* a *naQjejHom.* On the other hand, since *naQjejHommey* are not a native Klingon invention, Klingons might not have a strong preference for which word to use, and its association with *naQjejmey,* which you *chuH,* might lead them to say that you *chuH* a *naQjejHom.* If you want anything more definitive, you'll probably have to go ask a Klingon. -- SuStel http://trimboli.name
