When trying to inform the captain of an Axanar warship what had happened to the crew of an Axanar cargo ship in 2151, the universal translator of Enterprise NX-01 had trouble with the word "pump" in the Axanar language, so its phonetic processor searched for synonyms. When ordered to communicate with the Axanar manually, Hoshi Sato complained that she didn't even know how to say "pump" in their language. (ENT: "Fight or Flight")

According to Phlox in 2152, physiologically the Human heart was nothing more than a very efficient pump. (ENT: "Dear Doctor")
