But {bIQyIn} isn't a specific term for a specific type of cookie. It's a specific term for a specific type of {chabHom}. The fact that it happens to be similar to certain types of what we refer to as cookies (well, I refer to them as biscuits, but let's not get into that) is irrelevant for the Klingon language. We don't know exactly what a {bIQyIn} is, but it's a fair bet it's not all that similar to a sandwich cookie in anything but shape. (Remember that {tera' 'awje'} can refer to root beer, where {'awje'} proper is made of bone marrow and probably has no resemblance to root beer in anything but appearance.) Calling sandwiched cookies of all sorts {tera' bIQyIn} should get your meaning across pretty neatly, I'd think, regardless of whether a {bIQyIn} itself has filling or not.

Do you feel that one is really that necessary?
