12 is in the direction of 'ev?
Does 1 point north?
I'm sure you simply rounded these off to the nearest "branch", but for those
that are not familiar with the klingon, the three sections of chan-'ev-tIng are
not equal in size. The 'ev-tIng section is slightly smaller than the other
two. I'm sure Voragh will have the specs posted soon.
Picture the klingon trefoil, with the top pointing east to the rising sun,
acting as a compass rose. Maybe that's why we sometimes see a red/fire circle
in the background. I wonder how this fits into klingon culture/mythology.
> botlh-wo' = China
"China" is not what came to mind. At first I thought of something like "middle
earth" (middle empire) like in some fantasy stories; then I thought maybe the
middle-east.
> yav Sor-DeS = earthly branch
I saw the words "ground branches", but knowing this was *foriegn* and had to do
with lurgh, I understood the general concept.
> [chal Sor-porgh = heavenly stem?]
You didn't use this one.
I don't know enough about the "original" to know if chal is right
for "heavenly".
