No, but I've seen a Klingon on screen being /shot/ by an arrow!
Barring a dedicated word, I'd probably just use *naQjejHom, chonnaQHom,
*or*gnIntaqHom* as the situation warranted. Maybe I'd say something like
*naQjejHom vo'lu'bogh*/minor spear which is propelled;/ maybe using
*vo'* instead of *chuH* is enough to show this just a small thrown spear.
Oh, look! This question has been asked before:
https://scifi.stackexchange.com/questions/97330/klingon-for-arrow
I don't have /Hamlet/ handy. How did they translate /slings and arrows/?
