I understood you, but I'm pretty sure that the use of the word "once"
to denote "a long time ago" is an English-ism that doesn't make sense
in Klingon. /wa'logh/ means "once" only in the sense of "one time"
and not "long ago", as far as I know.
Which leads to the question, is there a way to say "Once upon a time"
in tlhIngan Hol?
