Used in canon:
matHa', DoS jonta' neH
Gunner: target engine only. ST3
TKD 78: The other word for "gunner", {matHa'}, remains impervious to analysis.
Synonym for {bahwI'}:
TKD 20: which consists of the verb {baH} "fire (a torpedo)" plus {-wI'} "one who does". Thus, {baHwI'} is literally "one who fires [a torpedo]".
