How about *rIjmoHmeH 'ughwI'*?
I suppose a tractor beam emitter would also be heavy, but most listeners
could probably deduce that if the object is described as a "heavy thing for
keeping vessels in place" then the heaviness probably has something to do
with how it keeps vessels in place. (Otherwise, why mention it?)
