: ps how about using sunrise and sunset (in whatever order) to represent
: East and West. They are arbitrary to almost all planets (including
: Kronos)
:
: qelayn
Except that we don't have words for "sunrise" or "sunset" either -- or even
"sun" (most people just use {Hov} or {Hovmaj}) -- just the verbs "ascend"
{Sal} and "descend" {ghIr}. Besides, how do you know that the Homeworld
even rotates in the same direction as Earth? If the planets in the Kronos
system rotate in the opposite direction from our own, then the Klingon sun
would rise in the "West".
Best leave these matters to Okrand.
