According to the Babylon 5 book, "To Dream in the City of Sorrows," which is about Ranger training in the Minbari capitol of Tuzanor, they are called "denn bok." That's plural, pretty sure. Denn boks sounds wrong...

Well, I've never prayed, but tonight I am on my knees, yeah.
I need to hear some sounds that recognize the pain in me, yeah.

I let the melody shine, let it cleanse my mind, I feel free now.
But the airwaves are clean and there's nobody singin' to me now.
