I know that the Klingons have a huge propensity for games - whether as
ritualized combat (klin zha) or as a handy excuse for beating the tar outta each
other(qeylIS mInDu'). For something I'm working on, I've been trying to figure
out a way to refer the concept of taking "turns"...implying not only that there
is a structure to this game but that, when my turn is over, it is your (or
someone else's) turn, which will itself have a definite starting and ending
point, during which he/she/it will attempt to counter whatever strategy you are
attempting to employ, and that, eventually, it will be my turn again, and so on,
until the winner of the game is decided (rather a long-winded description for a
simple four-letter-word, is it not?). I know the concept exists, but what means
has been used to convey this concept to date? I've been so far unable to
determine a way to do this that does not involve a lengthy discussion of the
concepts. Is there one? Can someone refer me to a handy term or
phrase which will sum this up concisely?
