: wovwI' (is there a better word for a light/lamp?)
Okrand came up with two:
{wovmoHbogh jan(Hom)} light (device) = referring to the lights in the small
Hallmark Bird-of-Prey Christmas ornament:
- Qapqu' wovmoHbogh janHommey
It even has working lights! (Hallmark)
{wovmoHwI'} light (device) KBP = referring to the wing lights on a full-size
BoP:
- telDaq wovmoHwI'mey
Wing Lights (BoP Poster)
And if you prefer the old technology - as Klingons do in their rituals - you
can also use {Sech} "torch" and {weQ} "candle". Note that the former is
specifically associated with {wov} in the simile:
wov; ghI'boj Sech rur
bright as the Torch of G'boj KGT
... whoever G'boj was.
