[Tlhingan-hol] Klingon Word of the Day: ngaDmoHwI'

[Steven Boozer]

> Klingon word:   ngaDmoHwI'
> Part of speech: noun
> Definition:     stabilizer (component of a ship)

Used in canon:

  qoD QutlhwI' ngaDmoHwI' 
  inner support stabilizer (BOP Poster) 

I.e. those large ceiling supports flanking the captain's chair on the BOP bridge that look like shock absorbers.

Would {ngaDmoHwI'} "thing that stabilizes/balances" be the same thing as the "inertial dampeners" referred to so often in TNG?


Trek trivia:

"Adjust the axial stabilizers to match the attitude and rotation rate of the Enterprise." (Picard, TNG "Genesis")

23rd century Federation transporters have a "stabilizer circuit". (TOS "The Lights of Zetar")
