>Definition:     decimal point

Used when reading decimal numbers aloud (e.g. stardates, measurements, warp 
factors, distances):

   HovpoH Hut vagh cha' wa' vI' jav Dujvam 'aghlu'pu' (...)
   [This ship was demonstrated on Stardate 9521.6 (...)]  S33

   wejvatlh loSmaH loS vI' vagh wej 'uj 'aD Duj
   Length: 120 M.  (KBoP)

   cha' vI' vagh choQmey lutoghlu'
   Number of Decks: 2.5.  (KBoP)

   'aqroS qughDo: pIvlob Hut vI' vagh
   Maximum Cruising Speed - Warp 9.5. (KBoP)

   jabbI'ID pup: Qapchu'meH 'aqroS chuq: cha' vI' chorgh loghqammey
   High Resolution - Maximum Effective Range - 3.5 Light Years. (KBoP)

N.B. Use {DoD} "mark" when reading out navigational coordinates:

   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.k 11/21/99)

Possibly an element in the noun {vatlhvI'} "percent".
