qIp'egh nachDu'chaj tlhIngan SuvwI'pu' [sic]
Klingon warriors are butting heads. CK
["I think it's supposed to be qIp'egh tlhIngan SuvwI'pu' nachDu'. However, perhaps Okrand has some weird sort of grammar in mind..." (SuStel)]
KGT: Sometimes an animal's whole head (nach) is served [i.e. as food]
HQ 8.3: The word for "top" is yor ... such as ... the top of one's head.
KGT 80: Even modern weaponry, such as a disrupter pistol (nISwI' HIch) or disrupter rifle (nISwI' bej), is decorated. For example, typically the head of any rivet (veragh) used has a raised image of some kind, often that of a Klingon warrior's head.
N.B. do not use nach for objects, e.g. QIn "spearhead".
