[Tlhingan-hol] Shuttles and stations

[Felix Malmenbeck]

To be specific, shuttlecraft are «lupDujHom», which further specifies their ferrying role.
It makes one wonder: Is there such a thing as a *lupDuj*? A passenger ship or troop escort intended for longer journeys, perhaps?

One might get the general idea of a runabout across using «leng ngaj Duj» ("short journey ship").

I wonder if «lo' law'» might be useful. What kind of ship would a «lo' law' Duj» be? Or a «lo' law' DujHom»?

{-Hom} doesn't indicate how impressive something is. The ISS is
certainly a {tengchaH}. A shuttlecraft is a {DujHom} because it's used
to ferry people to and from actual {Dujmey}.

Now... try translating "runabout"!
