Based on its use in {paq'batlh} (on p. 63), it means "signal" in the
sense of a sign that some action should be taken. I was going for
*{'ul maQ} to mean "electrical signal". I understood you were talking
about cables, but I wasn't sure whether the cables you were referring
to were electrical cables (i.e., they controlled the engine by sending
impulses to its motors) or mechanical/tension cables (i.e., they
controlled the engine by pulling on various mechanical parts). Also,
it didn't help that {HoS} means both "power" and "energy", so even if
you had said the cables were transferring {HoS}, I wouldn't have been
sure whether they transferred electrical or mechanical energy. (I'm
sure Klingon physicists must have specialised terms for "power",
"energy", and "force", as we do.) But your description with {luH} and
{yuv} answered my question.
