Klingon word: nuH bey' Part of speech: noun Definition: Pride of Weapons Source: HQ (5:1 p20) _______________________________________________ i.e. a ceremonial display of weapons (SuStel, 10/06/2021): The word {bey'} was included in KGT's word list. […] {nuH bey'} appears on that list [in HQ5.1:20]. … The list came out before KCD: "While you'll have to wait for the CD-ROM to actually hear Gowron speak, we are providing the vocabulary below for your advance education." In the House of SepIch Rite of Ascension chamber, the {quv bey'} looks like the {nuH bey'} except that it contains two *bat'leths* and two *d'k tahgs*, as opposed to the {nuH bey'} which has one *bat'leth*, one {naQjej}, and a {ghop 'etlh} ("One of three weapons traditionally displayed on the {nuH bey'}." (KCD) A photo of what might be Worf's {nuH bey'} on the wall of his Enterprise-D quarters can be seen in TKW p.124 (cf. TNG "Genesis", et al.). There's another version is on the KAG site: https://hol.kag.org/page/KLL/WEAPON.TXT.html?o=DevwIW005 TREK NOTES: "Where are all your weapons? Don't you display your weapons?"
