<div style="direction: ltr;font-family: Tahoma;color: #000000;font-size: 10pt;">Well, it never actually makes the claim that pagh rep is at midnight; it could very well be used to mark the sunrise.<br>
However, Klingons living on Earth would probably refer to the standard time in whatever time zone they were living in, so as to avoid confusion (qaS javvatlh rep 'e' cha' tlhaq qaSba' pagh rep.).<br>

<div>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>

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' vatlh rep} "1:00"<br>
* consistent lack of {vatlh} if minutes are mentioned, e.g. *{wa'<br>
wa'maH vagh rep} "1:15". (With {pagh} inserted if the minutes are less<br>
than ten.)<br>

Ah, that explains that! I had been wondering about {wa'maH vatlh} and<br>
{cha'maH vatlh}.<br>
