KGT p. 74. There are a great many Klingon percussion instruments--that is,instruments that make a sound as a result of something striking something else. Klingons seem to enjoy playing the percussion instruments more than instrumentsof other types. Among these are various drums and bells. The general term fora percussion instrument of any kind is 'In. Some types of 'In are struckwith the hand, either palm (toch) or fist (ro'), depending on the particularinstrument. To hit the instrument with the palm is weq; to strike it with thefist is tlhaw'. Other members of this group of instruments are hit with astick of some kind. The stick often resembles a small hammer; when it does, itis termed muqwI'Hom (literally, "small striker"). A plain stick is a naQHom(literally, "small cane" or "small staff"). To strike the instrument with astick is to moq ("beat") the instrument. The 'In itself may be madeentirely of metal (in which case it might be described as a bell, though inKlingon it is simply termed baS 'In, or "metal 'In") or entirely of wood(Sor Hap 'In, "wood 'In"). One kind of Sor Hap 'In is a tube, open onboth ends, with a longitudinal slit extending not quite to either end. It ishit with a muqwI'Hom. Drums made of animal skin stretched over a cylinder ofvarious materials are found but are not as common as other types of percussioninstruments. Such a drum is called a DIr 'In (literally, "skin 'In"). ADIr 'In usually has the skin stretched only over one end. A type of drum withskin stretched over both ends is called a 'o'lav.
