Kahless dropped a lock of his hair into the lava of the Kri'stak Volcano,
quenched it in the waters of Lake Lursor, and forged it into a weapon and
used it to kill Molor. He named this weapon {batlh 'etlh} ("The Sword of
Honor"). I believe {betleH} is a contraction of that word, used to
describe the type of weapon traditionally used by Klingons.
I think {batlh 'etlh} refers to Kahless' own weapon and {betleH} refers
to the type of weapon patterned after it and commonly used by other
Klingons.
