>Part of Speech: noun
>Definition:     amulet symbolizing a girl's coming of age

   For instance, the {jInaq}, an amulet given to a Klingon girl to
   symbolize her coming of age, may be pronounced correctly or else
   "Federationized" to sound something like "gin knack," but there
   is no word *jinak* or the like in Federation Standard." (KGT 205)

Seen in TNG "Birthright Part II" where it appeared to be the pendant of a 
necklace.

Cf. {ghIgh} "necklace".
