HQ 11.2: When the plane banks or rolls to one side or the other so that, say, the left wing is pointed somewhat (or even a lot) upwards while the right wing is pointed somewhat (or a lot) downwards, or vice versa, it is said to {ron} "roll". ... The attitude of an aircraft is often talked about in terms of angles. The word for angle is {tajvaj}. Klingon {taH} means "be at a negative angle".
{ronmoH} "bank, cause to roll" (e.g. aircraft) (v.)
