Actually in greek too, these words aren't rigidly defined by
clock-time; I used specific clock times, in order to adequately
describe the intented question.

However another question came to mind..

Assume I want to ask: "do you sleep between 3.00pm and 5.00pm ?" How
would someone express this in klingon ? (Without using the words
evening, noon etc)

I can't find a single way of saying this..
