(HQ 11.2):  The attitude of a plane is its orientation relative to something, such as the {ghangwI'} "horizon".  […]  Weirdly, although Maltz said he knew of no noun meaning attitude, the noun {lol} may show up in {lolSeHcha} "attitude control thrusters".  […]  The attitude of an aircraft is often talked about in terms of angles. The word for angle is {tajvaj}. Klingon {taH} means "be at a negative angle".
