No, {-maj} was used as a suffix. "Our transporter." He's suggesting that a
good idea for how one gets from one location to another is by using a
transporter.

In Conversational Klingon, {lupwI'} is translated as "jitney." This suggests
it is not energy transport. The word for "transport beam" is {jol}, so why
not use it? Or do you insist that you must refer to the machinery? Why?
