KGT 77: A song sung while going to, or returning from, a hunt is a {chon bom}, or "hunt song".
KGT 78: A {may' bom} (battle song), {chon bom} (hunting song), or just about any other kind of song may serve as a {HIvje' bom}, but there are special songs heard almost exclusively as accompaniments to drinking.
KGT 12f.: Finally, there are some old but still popular songs that retain old words and old grammatical forms that are not interpretable in modern Klingon. In fact, it is not uncommon for Klingon children to think some of these songs are nonsense songs, filled with silly words, and then be surprised to find out that they are ancient hunting songs or battle songs.
Known types of {bommey} include:
bang bom love song
chon bom hunting song
Dap bom nonsense song
HIvje' bom drinking song
may' bom battle song
van bom hymn, anthem
