KGT p. 56: The verb used for "shoot" when referring to disruptors is bach. Technically speaking, one shoots the energy beam from the disruptor. Thegeneral word for any energy beam ("ray") is tIH, so a disruptor's beam isnISwI' tIH. Thus, the correct formation is nISwI' tIH bach ("shoot thedisruptor beam"). As a practical matter, however, the tIH is often left out,and nISwI' bach is the common way to say "shoot a disruptor." Similarly, pu'bach is "shoot a phaser."
