Notes
KGT p. 56: Ships are also equipped with an explosive weapon called a peng,usually translated as "torpedo," though "missle" might work just as well. Theplural form of peng is a different word, cha. A peng is launched from atube usually called a DuS, but another term, chetvI', is also used, thedistinction having something to do with how the projectile is actually loadedinto the tube. The verb used for "launch" or "fire" a weapon of this type isbaH, and there is even a special word, ghuS, meaning "prepare to launch." The warhead of the torpedo is called its jorneb (which seems to contain theverb jor ["explode"] but is otherwise not analyzable).
