August 26 is not now. Or do you mean that NOW they have SET the schedule to
show the episode then? And I don't think you can say {*Aug 26*Daq}. I am
quite convinced that {-Daq} should refer to spacial location only. "On
August 26" is something of an English idiom. There is canon to indicate that
you need merely state the time to show time context. (CK)

Hoch!!
I'm not sure what {jojDaq} is doing here. Are you trying to say "In the
middle of the night?" If you mean "midnight," why not just say {ramjep}. Or
are you trying to be "approximate"? Shame on you!
Also you used {-Daq} on {ram}, which, as I stated above, I think is wrong.
Why not say something like {ramjep QongDaqDaq HochHom tu'lu'ba'}? Note that
I also took away the {chaH}; I dislike putting too many suffixes on pronouns,
although there really doesn't seem to be anything wrong with it. Just my
preference, I suppose.

Now I am sure what you mean, and you can certainly remove {-Daq} from those
time references. And you should probably write {wa'vatlh} instead of just
{vatlh}, although the dictionary lists {vatlh} as "hundred (num)." Any ideas
on this, people?
