[tlhIngan Hol] No word for "nuclear" ???

[Steven Boozer]

And we can now translate Chekov’s famous words from ST4:

  HeySel HoS bIQ Duj’e’ wItu’ta’… ‘ej ‘aj... ‘entepray’ ‘oH.
  We have found the nuclear *wessel*... and Admiral... it is the Enterprise.

hmm.. Interesting. I hadn't noticed that. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. Please tell me, the next time you see something similar.

SuStel:

> Yours suggests that, of the various sorts
> of nuclear-powered ships there may be,
> we're talking about the underwater kind.

Now I understand the difference. Thanks !
