Der

be yawing, be turning (aircraft move nose left or right)

Part of speech

verb

Pronunciation

ɖɛr

Sound out Der letter by letter:

• Dɖretroflex d (tongue curled back)
• eɛe as in 'bed'
• rrlightly trilled or rolled r

• When the nose of an airplane or similar craft moves to the left or the right, the plane is said to Der yaw. [HolQeD-11-2 p.9]

Translation given in HolQeD-11-2 is Der yaw, however that article seems to suggest that the word works similarly to ron be banking, be rolling, and is therefore translated as be yawing here. One would probably say Der Duj the vessel is yawing, and Duj DermoH 'orwI' the pilot is yawing the vessel.

• ron — be banking, be rolling (aircraft rotates around longitudinal axis), be rolling (about dice)
• tor — be pitching, be tilting (aircraft tilts nose up or down)
• jIm — be heaving, be moving up or down, be descending or ascending (about aircraft)
• Dav — be swaying, be moving left or right (aircraft moving without turning)
• jer — be surging, be moving forwards or backwards suddenly (about aircraft)
• tlhe' — turn
