An ocean {bIQ'a'} is a large expanse of water which may be connected to one or more other {bIQ'a'mey}, including smaller ones often called seas in English. TREK NOTES: "The first [bat'leth] was forged by Kahless from a lock of his own hair which he placed in the lava from the Kri'stak volcano. He then plunged the burning lock into the lake of Lursor, twisted it into a blade and killed the evil tyrant Molor with it." (KLS) In the paq'batlh, the lava-filled area inside the volcano is referred to as {qul ngeng} ("fire lake"), and its border ("shore" in the English text) {qul ngeng HeH} (or simply {ngeng HeH}). This {HeH} is so hostile that even thranx ({tlheng'IQ}) does not grow there. Kri'stak's top is referred to as its {yor}.
