To be specific, shuttlecraft are =ABlupDujHom=BB, which further specifies t=
heir ferrying role.
It makes one wonder: Is there such a thing as a *lupDuj*? A passenger ship =
or troop escort intended for longer journeys, perhaps?

One might get the general idea of a runabout across using =ABleng ngaj Duj=
=BB ("short journey ship").

I wonder if =ABlo' law'=BB might be useful. What kind of ship would a =ABlo=
' law' Duj=BB be? Or a =ABlo' law' DujHom=BB?

{-Hom} doesn't indicate how impressive something is. The ISS is
certainly a {tengchaH}. A shuttlecraft is a {DujHom} because it's used
to ferry people to and from actual {Dujmey}.

Now... try translating "runabout"!
