As used in canon:
jor
It explodes. (STC:KLS)
Appears as an element in {jorneb} "warhead (of a torpedo)" and the derived
noun {jorwI'} "explosive" ({jorwI'oy} is a known {bang pong} [cf. KGT 201]).
Cf. also {ngat} "gunpowder".
Some people have used *{jormoH} for "detonate, blow something up" and
*{jormoHwI'} for "detonator". I've also seen {ghuS} "be prepared/ready to
launch or project (something)" used for "arm (a weapon)".
