: Klingon word:     ramjep
: Part of Speech:   noun
: Definition:       midnight
: Additional Notes: Opposite of {DungluQ}.

Never used in canon, but in a June 1997 post on startrek.klingon on time stamps
Okrand translated {DaHjaj ramjep} as "this midnight, tonight at midnight"
(literally: "today midnight" or "today's midnight").

Related vocabulary includes {pemjep} "midday" and {DungluQ} "noon".  What the
difference is between these is unclear.  In the same post, Okrand gave examples
of both used as time stamps:

  DaHjaj pemjep 
  this midday, today in the middle of the day 
  (lit. "today midday" or "today's midday")

  DaHjaj DungluQ 
  this noon, today at noon 
  (lit. "today noon" or "today's noon")
