[Tlhingan-hol] Klingon Word of the Day: beH

[Felix Malmenbeck]

I think it'd've been stated explicitly if that were the case. I think it's just that it's meant to be rested against the shoulder, as opposed to a HIch (handgun). This distinction is present in Federation Standard, as well.
I'm guessing a flintlock would be called ngat beH or something.

Out of curiosity, I noticed that we find the word beH in such compound nounds as nISwI' beH and pu' beH.  Does this mean that "beH" by itself means "rifle" in the sense of "flintlock"?  Like the kind the Klingons were arming the Neuralese with?
