Re: Okrand speaks: What time is it?



: Don't forget that we get a new explanation (a newly extended 
: definition) of {per}. I can see I'll be working on my

	rep yIper! 
	Ascertain the hour! Specify the hour! 

And of course everyone has noticed that in finally providing an answer to the nagging question:  How do you ask "What time is it?", Okrand chose to use the existing verb {per} "label" - which is {rep} "hour" backwards!
