KGT p. 61: The three-bladed warrior's knife (one main blade plus two smallerblades that spring out at the base of the blade) is Daqtagh, sometimesrendered [d'k tahg] in the Federation. In addition to the extra blades(frequently termed tajHommey ["little knives"]), at the end of the knife'shandle (ret'aq) there is a spiked pommel, called simply moQ ("sphere"). A"spike" is a DuQwI' and the small spikes on the [d'k tahg] are usually calledDuQwI''Hommey ("little spikes").KGT p. 80. The part of a weapon with ornamentation, such as the handle(ret'aq) of a knife, is usually decorated by means of carving. Even modernweaponry, such as a disruptor pistol (nISwI' HIch) or disruptor 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. Sometimes extra ornamentation, carved of a different material, is attached. This would typically be the case with a family crest (tuq Degh).KGT p. 81. Compared to Federation Standard, Klingon terminology associated withcolors is rather limited. First of all, there is no noun meaning "color." There is, however, a verb, nguv, which means something like "be dyed, stained,tinted," though it is seldom used except in the phrase chay' nguv ("How is[it] tinted?") or when suffixed with -moH ("cause") in the form nguvmoH("dye, tint, stain"; that is, "cause to be dyed," etc.)--for example, ret'aqnguvmoH ("He/she stains the knife handle").
