*banana* rur 'etlh. :)

Honestly, peHruS, we don't know.  Yes, Klingons probably have a word "be
curved."  Until we know it, we have to use some circumlocution.

Perhaps {loQ SIH 'etlh} would be understood.  (Or {SIH'egh}, not sure of the
transitivity of {SIH}).

Sure. Or simply {baS 'etlh 'oH}.  It is a metal blade.

How about: {'et lurgh yIghoS.  yItlhe'Qo'}
