As used in canon:
chuyDaH yIlaQ
Fire the thrusters! TKD
chuyDaH!
Thrusters. ST3/TKD
<chuyDaH yIchu'> (?)
Engage thrusters! ST6
Hong boq chuyDaH: loS
Impulse Fusion Thrusters - 4 (KBoP)
'o' chuyDaH Hongghor je
aft thrusters and impulse drive (KBoP)
A single thruster is {vIj}. Cf. {lolSeHcha} "attitude-control thrusters"
and {'eDSeHcha} "take-off/landing thrusters" -- both also apparently
inherently plural nouns.
Another useful verb WRT thrusters is {vo'} "propel".
