On the original CD, the Latin script text had a different wording:
{vagh pagh vagh rep}. Presumably, this is an earlier (and not canon)
version. The sound file and the pIqaD agree with the newer-style
wording.
Other spelling differences include:
* consistent space before {vatlh}, e.g. *{wa' vatlh rep} "1:00"
* consistent lack of {vatlh} if minutes are mentioned, e.g. *{wa'
wa'maH vagh rep} "1:15". (With {pagh} inserted if the minutes are less
than ten.)

Ah, that explains that! I had been wondering about {wa'maH vatlh} and
{cha'maH vatlh}.
