be heaving, be moving up or down, be descending or ascending (about aircraft)

Part of speech

verb

Pronunciation

/d͡ʒɪm/

Sound out jIm letter by letter:

• j/d͡ʒ/j as in 'junk'
• I/ɪ/i as in 'bit'
• m/m/m as in 'moon'

• When the plane moves up or down (not when the nose points up or down, but when the plane increases or decreases altitude, as if the whole plane is being pushed up or down) [HolQeD-11-2 p.9]

Translation given in HolQeD-11-2 is jIm heave, however that article seems to suggest that the word works similarly to ron be banking, be rolling, and is therefore translated as be heaving here. One would probably say jIm Duj the vessel is moving up or down, and Duj jImmoH 'orwI' the pilot is moving the vessel up or down.
