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

[Robyn Stewart]

lolchu'taH most definitely refers to aTtitude, the orientation of the craft with respect to the horizon (in atmosphere), and in space presumably with respect to whatever galactic plane causes Star Trek ships to always meet each other right side up, and to hang tilted when damaged. 

While  the correct attitude varies.by mode of flight, without additional context, lolchu'taH might be a synonym for yoyHa'taH. 

'Iv qar leHnIS je 'orwI', 'ach lollaHchu'be'chugh 'Iv leHlaHbe'.
