Re: qutluch

[peregrine@jwp.bc.ca (Adrian K)]

Actually, this subject is kind of misty. In TKW, a picture of a weapon with
two spring-mounted side-blades, an arrow-head front edge, and a spiked butt
is refered to as a *qutluch*. However, both the Star Trek Omnipedia and
other sources refer to this same knife as a *d'ktagh* <- terran spelling!
According to the ST Omnipedia, a qutluch has a single curvy blade. I tend to
wonder if this is an error on Okrand's or Okuda's part.
