Re: KLBC: poHmey

ter'eS asks:
>How does one tell time in Klingon?

Time stamps answer the question "when", right?
{ghorgh mapaw?  wa'leS mapaw.}
{ghorgh megh wISop?  wa'maH cha'vatlh rep megh wISop.}
Perhaps a "correct" way to ask what time it is involves {ghorgh}.

Now all we need to do is figure out how to say "when is now?"
{ghorgh DaH qaS?}  Bleah.  The language isn't cooperating well.

Maybe {ghorgh} all by itself would work.  But that's getting
out of the realm of grammar and into the realm of idiom.
