Oddly enough, in his article on airplane vocabulary in the recent HolQeD,
Okrand didn't provide us a word for "airplane" itself! So people have to
make do. Calling every type of vehicle or craft a {Duj} "ship, vessel"
would get tiresome.
FYI: Some people on the List use *{yavDuj} "groundship" for "automobile,
car"; others have used *{ghor Duj} "surface (of planet) vessel".
