Re: Klingon WOTD: HovpoH (n)
: Klingon word: HovpoH
: Part of Speech: noun
: Definition: stardate
: Additional Notes: S33, KGT.
As used in canon:
HovpoH Hut vagh cha' wa' vI' jav Dujvam 'aghlu'pu' 'ach Qaw'lu'pu'
[This ship was demonstrated on Stardate 9521.6 but it was destroyed.]
SkyBox S33 (untranslated on card)
The Star Trek Encyclopedia CD-ROM defines "stardate" thusly:
Timekeeping system used to provide a standard galactic temporal
reference, compensating for relativistic time dilation, warp-speed
displacement, and other peculiarities of interstellar space travel.
(To those interested in the minutiae of stardate computation ... we
shamelessly refer you to Appendix I in the 1996 edition of our book,
Star Trek Chronology: The History of the Future, by Michael Okuda
and Denise Okuda).
N.B. Prior to the release of S33, many Klingonists used *{Hovjaj}, which
appears often in older messages.
