We know from John Ford's <i>The Final Reflection</i> that Klin Zha
{tlhInja} has:<br>
<br>
(1) A board {che'ron} ("battlefield") that's triangular {ra'Duch
tIQ} as are the many "squares" {ra'DuchHommey} that make up the
board.<br>
<br>
(2) Pieces move about these {ra'DuchHommey} is various ways
depending on the specific piece.<br>
<br>
(3) When placing pieces, one player choose one corner, the other
player a second corner, leaving the remaining third of the board
blank.<br>
<br>
Direction has always intrigued/plagued me with respect to {tlhInja}.
But I think I have a possible solution:<br>
<br>
(1) The empty third of the {che'ron} is always designated "east"
{chan}. This leaves the opponents having set up there pieces in
either the "northwest" {'em} or "southwest" {tIng} corners.<br>
<br>
(2) The direction a piece moves is described as {chan tIng 'em joq}
or some combination of the two, depending of the specific
orientation of the piece's starting {ra'DuchHom}.<br>
<br>
Does this work for anyone else?<br>
