But {bIQyIn} isn't a specific term for a specific type of cookie. It's a sp=
ecific term for a specific type of {chabHom}. The fact that it happens to b=
e similar to certain types of what we refer to as cookies (well=2C I refer =
to them as biscuits=2C but let's not get into that) is irrelevant for the K=
lingon language. We don't know exactly what a {bIQyIn} is=2C but it's a fai=
r bet it's not all that similar to a sandwich cookie in anything but shape.=
(Remember that {tera' 'awje'} can refer to root beer=2C where {'awje'} pro=
per is made of bone marrow and probably has no resemblance to root beer in =
anything but appearance.) Calling sandwiched cookies of all sorts {tera' bI=
QyIn} should get your meaning across pretty neatly=2C I'd think=2C regardle=
ss of whether a {bIQyIn} itself has filling or not.
