In KCD we saw three types of these ceremonial displays of weapons: the
{betleH bey'} "bat'leth Display", {nuH bey'} "Pride of Weapons" and the
{quv bey'} "Honor Display". The {quv bey'} of the House of SepIch's Rite
of Ascension chamber looks like the {nuH bey'} except that it contains two
bat'leths and two d'k tahgs, as opposed to the {nuH bey'} which has one
bat'leth, one {naQjej}, and a {ghab'etlh} ("one of three weapons
traditionally displayed on the {nuH bey'}"). [KCD]
A photo of what must be Worf's {nuH bey'} or in his Enterprise-D quarters
can be seen in TKW (p.124).
