letlh stairs, stairway KGT
Just one of several, it turns out:
"the word for stairs or stairway in most of the Empire is {letlh}. One type
of {letlh} is a {choghvat}, the stairway leading to and from the doorway of
a ship. In a couple of dialects in the Mekro'vak (meqrovaq) region, however,
{letlh} refers only to the stairway connected to a ship, while {ngep'oS} is
any other kind of stairway but not one used to enter or exit a ship." (KGT
p. 29)
