When you use a Sentence As Object, the second verb is not allowed to take any
Type 7 verb suffixes. Remove the {-pu'} from {vIlegh} and you're fine.

In fact, *I* used to use {Hovjaj}, and I'm sure some others did the same
thing. We didn't yet have the "correct" Klingon way of translating
"stardate." We got it recently on a SkyBox card. {HovpoH} "star period."

HovpoH

Remember, {poH} is a *period* of time, not just a time.

If you're using d'Armond's program, it's got all of the time zones built in
(right click). Choose your time zone and the stardate will be calculated
correctly.
