Speaking of bellies, here's my favorite example sentence:
tajwIj 'oHbe' chorlIj jeqbogh Dochvetlh'e'
That is not my dagger protruding from your midsection. FTG
FTG = M.J. Friedman's "Star Trek: Federation Travel Guide" (1997), a 60-page vacation pamphlet with restaurant and hotel locations for different planets, including 4 pages on Qo'noS.
Okrand commenteds (email to Qermaq [st.k 6/1997]):
The object of this verb [{jeq}] would be the thing from which
something else (the subject) protrudes. Thus, {chor jeq taj}
means "a knife protrudes from a belly". I suppose this is a
handy word to know if you're vacationing on {Qo'noS}.
