This conflicts with the way I thought Klingon birthdays were numbered: {qoS wa'DIch} for the actual day that someone is born, {qoS cha'DIch} for its first anniversary, etc.. It would hardly make sense for the zeroth year to start on the first birthday and end on the second, but perhaps I'm mistaken about this birthday numbering, since I can't find a source for it.</div><div id="m_-7578718473135948913m_-8703576498649898951DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2">
