The difference, as I have come to understand it, is that <quv> refers more
to someone's personal honor, and <batlh> is more honor in the abstract. We
have never, for example, seen a canon example of <batlh> in an possessive
construction, but there are plenty with <quv>.
> Are there any differences in the meanings of <quvmoH> and <batlhmoH>?
HIja'. wot 'oHbe'mo' <batlh>'e', Hatbej <batlhmoH>. 'ach mub <batlh moH> . .
