He or she is refering to the three bladed knife that the Encyclopedia calls a
d'k tahg. The gaming company FASA called it a le'vek. The joke among my
FIDOnet friends is that calling the knife "exceptional garbage" {le' veQ} is
an appropriate name for the weapon.
Worf refers to this knife by name in "Birthright, Part II". Does anyone
remember how he pronounced it? I take all Klingon spellings in the Okudapedia
with a large grain of salt.
