How is it written?
bat'leth
batlh'etlh

Hegh batlh!

Do you mean the weapon with long curved blades and three hand grips?
It's [betleH].
[batlh'etlh] would appear to be a compound noun or some such thing and
mean 'sword of honor' or 'honorable sword'. It is not, in my understanding, the
*name* of the weapon in question although it has been used as a description of the
[betleH].
Please help me out on this one Lawrence. I remember asking you about this at
KlingCon. Why is [betleH] not generally used and, to my knowledge, only once correctly
pronounced on a DS9 episode.
