{teS} refers specifically to the organ of hearing; in humans, it is
the "inner ear".  {qogh} indicates the visible flap of cartilege or
skin (yes, it's the same as the word for "belt").  These words (and
others) were given in an article by Dr. Okrand in HolQeD 2:4.

>2) Is {wInolpu'bogh} p7 a typo, or is there a verb form of {nol}?

Hmm, it does look like it might be a typo for {mol}.

And, yes, "attitude" is correct.  It refers to the orientation of a
craft, in three-dimensional space.  It includes not only which way it
is pointing, but also its tilt.  The standard reference axes for any
airplane are labelled "roll", "pitch", and "yaw".
