  tujqu'choH QuQ 
  The engine is overheating. TKD/CK

  baHwI', DoS yIbuS. QuQ neH.  yaj'a'? 
  Gunner: Target engine only - Understood? ST3

TKD 78:  Sometimes one member of a set may be partially analyzed. For example, {jonta'} "engine" begins with {jon}, which is also found in {jonwI'} "engineer", and ends with {ta'}, which also occurs in {mIqta'} "machinery". The other members of these synonym sets, {QuQ} "engine" and {jo'} "machinery", cannot be further analyzed.

N.B. {jonta'} "engine" is a synonym.  How it differs from {QuQ} is unclear.  E.g. 

  matHa', DoS jonta' neH
  Gunner: target engine only. ST3

  jonta' neH 
  only the engine TKD
