MO said that {jIr} was intransitive at qepHom'a' 2011:
lugh {ghur vay'}, {vay' ghurmoHlu'}, {nup vay'}, {vay'
nupmoHlu'} je 'e' maqbej MO. {jIr} rur {DIng} maq je 'ach
rurchu' 'e' maqchu'be'. Sovchu'meH matlh'e' tlhobnISlaw'.
[De'vID, 3/22/12]
Cf. {jIrmoH} "twirl bat'leth, cause bat'leth to rotate":
KGT 60: To twirl or rotate the bat'leth is {jIrmoH} and to toss it from one hand to the other (the same word is used whether left to right or right to left) is {baQ}.
Related words:
DIng spin (v)
bav orbit (v)

jaD throw around, hurl about (v)
yan wield, use or manipulate a sword (v)
Trek trivia:
"Adjust the axial stabilizers to match the attitude and rotation rate of the Enterprise." (Picard, TNG "Genesis")
