I don't think parallel necessarily implies direction. I see it
that way in "flying in parallel", but if one thinks of vectors
instead of "parallel lines", the direction of each vector is not
important.

I would think that <DonHa'> would not be so specific as that,
but would merely mean "not parallel", hence any angle.

Not really, but you could circumlocute it as "having an angle of 90
degrees from" maybe. I can't recall if we have a measure for angles
in Klingon though...
