TKD 78: Sometimes one member of a set may be partially analyzed. For example, {jonta'} "engine" begins with {jon}, which is also found in {jonwI'} "engineer", and ends with {ta'}, which also occurs in {mIqta'} "machinery". The other members of these synonym sets, {QuQ} "engine" and {jo'} "machinery", cannot be further analyzed.)
Note, however, the verb {jom} "install (a device), equip" later introduced in KGT.
Useful words:
jan device (n)
jo' machinery, mechanism (n)
mIqta' machinery (n)
nguSDI' motor (n)
HanDogh [warp engine] nacelle (n)
jonwI' engineer (n)
jonpIn engineering officer (n)
"Engines are for mechanics and menials." (Elaan to Scott, TOS "Elaan of Troyius")
