As used in canon:

   SuSmo' joqtaH
   It is fluttering in the breeze.
   ("Due to the breeze, it [a flag] is fluttering.") TKD

   Maltz pointed out that, in flight, a bird's wings {laq} (the bird
   is said to {laqmoH} its wings), but when a banner or sail flaps,
   the correct word to use is {joq} "flap, flutter, wave." (HQ 10.4)

Note the derived noun {joqwI'} "flag".

Cf. also {vIH}:

   The verb {vIH} ("move, be in motion") can be applied to any sort
   of motion. (KGT 112)
