be swaying, be moving left or right (aircraft moving without turning)

Part of speech

verb

Pronunciation

ɖɑv

Sound out Dav letter by letter:

• Dɖretroflex d (tongue curled back)
• aɑa as in 'father'
• vvv as in 'vow'

• When it [an aircraft] moves to the side (not when the nose points to the left or right, but when the plane slides to the left or right without otherwise changing its orientation), it is said to Dav sway. [HolQeD-11-2 p.9]

Translation given in HolQeD-11-2 is Dav sway, however that article seems to suggest that the word works similarly to ron be banking, be rolling, and is therefore translated as be heaving here. One would probably say Dav Duj the vessel is moving left or right, and Duj DavmoH 'orwI' the pilot is moving the vessel left or right.
