mujbej qechvam. KGT p.67 yIlaD:<br>
<As protection against these various weapons, a warrior often carried<br>
a shield, or {yoD}, basically a large plate of metal. The verb form of<br>
"shield" is also {yoD}, and to "shield oneself" is {yoD'egh}.<br>
(Although the Federation Standard word "shields" refers to both the<br>
old hand-held protective armor and the force field protecting a vessel<br>
-- the newer meaning clearly based on the older -- in Klingon, there<br>
is no connection between the two. The force field on a ship is called<br>
{botjan}. To shield a ship, one must "activate the shields," or<br>
{botjan chu'}.)><br>
