TKD:
Hogh week (Klingon) (n)
MSN:
Klingon: Hogh
English: Week
Phonetically -- "khoagch"
A unit of time equal to 7 Earth days.
So which is it? A Terran week or a Klingon week?
Similar problems came up with
TKD:
DIS year (Klingon) (n)
MSN:
Klingon: DIS
English: Year
Phonetically -- "dissh"
Block of time needed for the Earth to revolve once around the sun,
approximately 365.25 Earth days.
This is telling me that Klingons have a word for an Earth year?!? I mean, I
know they've adopted 24 hour time, but really!
TKD:
jaj day (from dawn to dawn) (n)
MSN:
Klingon: jaj
English: Day
Phonetically -- "jadge"
Block of time needed for Earth to rotate once on its axis.
Oh, come on! This is silly! I would have accepted "24 hour period" or "block
of time needed for a planet to rotate once on its axis," but this is
ridiculous!
Somehow, I just can't accept these definitions.
I believe that on the Conversational Klingon tape. Measurements of time are
equivelant to earth time (24 hours). It's not that "far fetched" to believe
that the other types of rotations are similiar. Very coincidental, but not
far fetched!
