Greetings.
I've been thinking about what Marc Okrand said about telling time.
In his {'arlogh Qoylu'pu'}-message he said that hours are labeled, not
conted, thus {rep wa'} and so on.
Okay.
On conversational Klingon he says "zero hours", midnight, is {pagh rep};
1900 hours, seven p.m. is {wa'maH Hutvatlh rep} and so on.
So what??
Another question: The answer to {'arlogh Qoylu'pu'} is usually
{chorghlogh} (here for "eight o'clock"). Do we know how to say 7:15
p.m.?? According to CK, I would say {wa'maHHutvatlh wa'maHvagh rep}, but
that now seems to be wrong...
Power Klingon gives us this:
"check-out time is five p.m."
{vagh rep bImejnIS}
But looking at the new rule, I would say
{vaghlogh Qoy'lu'pu' bImejnISDI'} or
{rep vagh bImejnIS} or
{qaStaHvIS rep vagh bImejnIS}
comments?
