Re: [Tlhingan-hol] Eurotalk - New Specialism - Time

What happened to Klingon time being counted from dawn-to-dawn? Is this just the Klingon time-keeping words being transposed 6 hours earlier than they normally run, or is it now a retcon, or do they actually have a totally different system of counting time and what we have here is a translation of human time?<br>

</div>On the original CD, the Latin script text had a different wording:<br>
{vagh pagh vagh rep}. Presumably, this is an earlier (and not canon)<br>
version. The sound file and the pIqaD agree with the newer-style<br>
wording.<br>
<br>
Other spelling differences include:<br>
<br>
* consistent space before {vatlh}, e.g. *{wa&#39; vatlh rep} &quot;1:00&quot;<br>
* consistent lack of {vatlh} if minutes are mentioned, e.g. *{wa&#39;<br>
wa&#39;maH vagh rep} &quot;1:15&quot;. (With {pagh} inserted if the minutes are less<br>
than ten.)<br>
<div class="im"><br>
&gt; I separated the vatlh from the wa&#39;maH to show that it is a<br>
&gt; specialized usage of vatlh (wa&#39;maHvatlh can&#39;t be a normal Klingon number). I<br>
&gt; left it attached to Hutvatlh and so on because they happen to be regular<br>
&gt; Klingon numbers anyway.<br>
<br>
</div>Ah, that explains that! I had been wondering about {wa&#39;maH vatlh} and<br>
{cha&#39;maH vatlh}.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
