Description
Staying aloft in one spot or general area in the air, using some active means. This is different from float, fly, or orbit. Things that hover: hummingbirds, helicopters, dragonflies, ships with thrusters or anti-gravity technology. (Possibly a wizard casting a spell could cause something to hover, but that's not my focus.)

The English side might have a distinction because of the means by which a thing or person stays stationary in that position in the air. I don't know if Klingon has that distinction. It might be that {'al} extends to that so that we just add the extra definition of (hover) to it. That's speculation, but I wouldn't reject it if I saw that word being used that way until we get clarification.
