The closest word I can think of for the latter would be {chor} "belly,
midsection":
tajwIj 'oHbe' chorlIj jeqbogh Dochvetlh'e'
That is not my dagger protruding from your midsection. (FTG)
chor jeq taj
a knife protrudes from a belly (st.k 6/97)
In some regions...a ceramic {bargh} is called a {chor} (literally,
"belly") or {chor bargh} ("belly pot"). (KGT 28)
And speaking of anatomy, we also have {burgh} "stomach" which surely refers
to the internal organ, of which Klingons have two.
