As used in canon:

   jor
   It explodes. (STC:KLS)

Appears as an element in {jorneb} "warhead (of a torpedo)" and the derived 
noun {jorwI'} "explosive" ({jorwI'oy} is a known {bang pong} [cf. KGT 201]).

Cf. also {ngat} "gunpowder".

Some people have used *{jormoH} for "detonate, blow something up" and 
*{jormoHwI'} for "detonator".  I've also seen {ghuS} "be prepared/ready to 
launch or project (something)" used for "arm (a weapon)".
