KGT 64: A general term for spear is naQjej, but of course, there are specific types of spears. The ghIntaq, for example, is a battle spear, though it is also used ceremonially. The shaft of a spear is the tIH; the sharp tip or spearhead is the Qin. As might be expected, there are a great many different types of QInmey (the plural form of Qin). A plain spearhead, one that is simply a sharp point, is a QIn pup ("perfect spearhead"). A tip with multiple points is a QIn vagh ("spearhead number five"), though this is a bit odd because there may be any number of points and no other spearheads are named with numbers. A spearhead that is barbed is a SeDveq, a word with unknown etymological origins and otherwise unused. HQ 12.2 p7: "the sharp end of a spear is the QIn ... When shown a pencil, Maltz said that the sharp end could be called a QIn, but if the pencil were new and did not yet have a point, the ready-to-be-sharpened end would be a megh'an or 'er'In.
