: Klingon word:   betleH bey'
: Part of Speech: noun
: Definition:     Bat'telh display

In KCD we can see three types of {bey'} "ceremonial display":

  betleH bey'  Bat'leth Display 
  nuH bey'     Pride of Weapons
  quv bey'     Honor Display 

In the House of SepIch Rite of Ascension chamber seen in KCD, the {quv
bey'} looks like the {nuH bey'}, except that the former has two bat'leths
and two d'k tahgs on it, as opposed to the {nuH bey'} - which has one
bat'leth, one {naQjej}, and a {ghab'etlh} ("one of three weapons
traditionally displayed on the {nuH bey'}"). 

A photo of Worf's {nuH bey'} in his Enterprise D quarters can be seen in
TKW (p.124).
