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'}
