[tlhIngan Hol] windlass

[Lieven L. Litaer]

I think my question more about English than Klingon.

Regarding the word {tlhegh jIrmoHwI'} which is translated as "windlass",
what other kinds of {X jIrmoHwI'} would make sense, and how would you
translate {jIrmoHwI'} without doing it literally?

In other words, is there a "windlass" not used with a rope?
