{DoD} was apparently created for ST:V, when Okrand suddenly noticed that
there was no way to give a course bearing. {He pagh pagh pagh DoD cha'
yInab} "Plot course zero-zero-zero mark two."
For fractions or decimals, another line in ST:V is useful: {cha'maH vagh
vatlhvI' Hong QIt yIghoS} "Slow to one quarter impulse power."
By the way, in that same line, anyone know how Klaa says "Stealth approach"?
It sounds like {HoS belIber} to me, and that can't be right.
