_I_ was certainly assuming so when I proposed the word /pach/ as
descriptive of the C-shaped end of a /betleH/.  But, on a webpage
of Klingon recipes maintained by K'Tesh (I think - I got to it through
K'Mel's Klingon Website), s/he discusses /pIpyuS pach/.  In the only known
picture of it, it appears to be a bowl full of chicken feet.  K'Tesh
speculates that this means the /pIpyuS/ is bird-like, but that doesn't
necessarily follow.  But it does seem that a /pIpyuS pach/ isn't at all
like a lobster claw.  Do'Ha'.
