Thanks. That makes more sense, and it's another official "purpose noun".
More on pencils:
st.klingon L(7/09/1998): The verb usually translated "write", {ghItlh}, refers to the physical activity of writing (moving the pencil around, chiseling, etc.)
HQ 12.2:y: ... the sharp end of a spear is the {Qin} ... When shown a pencil, Maltz said that the sharp end could be called a {Qin}, but if the pencil were new and did not yet have a point, the ready-to-be-sharpened end would be a {megh'an} or {'er'In}.
Cf. also {ghItlhwI'} "stylus", extended to "pen" in TNK.
