This is the Klingon Word Of The Day for Tuesday, November 8, 2005.
Category: General
Klingon word: tIng
Part of Speech: noun
Definition: area southwestward / area towards the southwest
Source: HQ (8:4 p6)
Swedish: område sydvästerut, område i sydväst
Additional Notes:
HolQeD 8:4, p. 6. While the four main compass points used in the Federation (north, east, south, west) are distributed evenly (that is, they are 90 degrees apart from each other: north is 90 degrees away from east, east is 90 degrees away from south, and so on), this is not the case in the Klingon system. The three directions are not evenly spaced (that is, they are not 120 degrees apart from each other). Instead, the areas associated with {'ev} and {tIng} are closer to each other than than either is to the area associated with {chan}. (The areas associated with {'ev} and {tIng} are something like 100 degrees apart from each other, and each is 130 degrees away from the area associated with {chan}.)
