muDDaq 'eDSeHcha lulaQlu'bogh: jav 
Atmospheric Take-Off/Landing Thrusters - 6 (KBoP)

Cf. also {lolSeHcha} "attitude-control [maneuvering?] thrusters":

(HQ 11.2)  Weirdly, although Maltz said he knew of no noun meaning "attitude", the noun {lol} may show up in {lolSeHcha} "attitude control thrusters". Although the middle element of this word, {SeH}, is certainly the verb "control", the full etymology of this word is far from clear. (If the final element, {cha}, is, in fact, {cha} "torpedoes", this may shed some light on early versions of the device. On the other hand, something else may be going on here; maybe {lolSeHcha} is shortened from a longer construction. Maltz didn't know the answer, but he said it was an interesting question.
