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.
