_______________________________________________
AFAIK not used in a sentence.
TREK TRIVIA:
(STEncyclopedia [1994] p.355): "TURN. English translation of the Klingon term for a year, as in one turn (or revolution) of a planet around its sun." (TNG "Sins of the Father")
"Turn" is used twice in that episode:
DURAS [to the High Council]: For many turns, the truth about Khitomer
has lain dormant. Unknown. Now the truth has been revealed.
KURN: I should have known. Worf was right. It is a good day to die.
DURAS: The time has not yet come. It does not have to come for many
turns. I know who you are, Kurn. Son of Mogh.
