Right, so much for that idea! So, shopping for the odds and ends a tourist might need then.

As you may recall when we first heard of the word, I imagine that Okrand had forgotten he'd already come up with {HoS Hal} "power supply" for SkyBox S14:
nISwI' HIch motlh HoS Hal qengwI' naQ tIq je lurarlu'bogh 'oH
tlhIngan nISwI' beH'e'
The Klingon disruptor rifle is a standard hand held disruptor,
attached to an extended power supply stock. (S14)
When used with phasers, these are called "power packs" by the Federation in TOS "The Omega Glory". Sounds like a battery to me. <g>
{HoS Hal} (two words) is not to be confused with {HoSHal} "energy source" which seems to refer to a power generating (or refueling?) facility in Monopoly:
HoSHal ghajchugh vay', mI' naghmey tIronmoH. wa'maHlogh boq'egh
mI' naghmey; chen qav'ap. ghajwI'vaD qav'ap yIDIl.
If [energy source is] owned, throw dice and pay owner a total
ten times amount shown. (MKE)
pIvghor yIchu' 'ej HoSHal Sumqu' yIjaH
Advance to the nearest energy source. (MKE)
