Never used in canon.

Can {nech} also cover "move side-to-side", "move horizontally", "slide"?

N.B. "Lateral power!" was an order to the helmsman to bank the Enterprise 
starboard (or port) using the impulse engines. (TOS "Where No Man Has Gone 
Before")

Related verbs:

{Don} "be parallel, go parallel to" & {SaS} "be horizontal".

"To slide the blade of one's bat'leth along the blade of the opponent's 
weapon is {DIj}." (KGT 59)

Related nouns:

{Dop} "side"
