Interesting article:

I'm reminded of Trek "warp bubbles": *{pIvchem pel'aQ}, literally "shell" as there's no word for bubble. (Anyone think of a better translation?)
To discuss this, we have the noun {wab} "sound, noise" available but no simple word for a submarine. We'd need to describe it, e.g. *{bIQ'a' bIngDaq lengbogh (lengmeH) Duj}.
