That's true, I agree. But I've seen it very often here (now I find no example) that there are words that
are used for things that everyone understands. Just translated from english to klingon, but not really
canon klingon.
Anyway, I agree that {QIn nach} could be misunderstood as a "spearheads head"m making no sense to a
klingon.
btw, a "spear-head" is not a {naQ nach}, that's what you triedto tell me, right?
Quvar.
