ghunchu'wI':
: TKD specifically defines it as "mark (in coordinates)", as in
: {He wa'vatlh wa'maH wa' DoD wa'maH loS} "course 111 mark 14".
: It's used as a separator.
As used in canon:
He pagh-pagh-pagh-DoD-cha' yInab
Plot course zero-zero-zero, mark two. ST5
He wej pagh Soch DoD cha'
course 3-0-7-mark-2 (st.klingon)
Note that {DoD} is the separator between the two parts of a coordinate bearing
or heading, and it's commonly used on the KLI list between parts of TKD section
numbers. It's not a decimal point.
The decimal point is {vI'}, which is used in reading out numbers:
