heel, heeling, list Explanation: This is what I found in both the Routledge Technical Dictionary (1994) and TERMIUM: "DEF - Inclinaison permanente du navire sur un bord, soit sous l'influence du vent, soit par suite d'une cause accidentelle ou d'un chargement inégal." The area is Navigation, but it might fit your context. <BR> Hope this helps, <BR>Evelyna Reference: http://www.termiumplus.bureaudelatraduction.gc.ca/termium_fr... |

LIST / SWAY /INCLINE / TILT Explanation: The word "List" is normally used when you are talking of a ship which is leaning after running aground or about to sink The word "Sway" / "Incline" / "Tilt" is generally used when you are talking of buildings or structures. |

shifts from the vertical Explanation: (or possibly "vertical displacement") is what I'd suggest, if you're committed to using a noun. Alternatives would include simply "tilt" or "lean" (in the singular). "List" also comes to mind, but it's almost always applied to ships and boats. -- Hope this helps a little, HC |
