I would like to ask though, something that I noticed.
HoSHal ghajchugh vay', mI' naghmey tIronmoH. wa'maHlogh boq'egh mI' naghmey; chen qav'ap. ghajwI'vaD qav'ap yIDIl. If [energy source is] owned, throw dice and pay owner a total ten times amount shown. MKE
the {wa'maHlogh boq'egh mI' naghmey}, means "roll the dice once"?
{wa'maHlogh" = "ten times"
wa'maHlogh boq'egh mI' naghmey; chen qav'ap "the dice {mI' naghmey} ally with themselves ten times; the amount forms"
pIraqSIS HoS waw' ghajlu'chugh, loSlogh boq'egh mI' naghmey mI'; chen qav'ap If Praxis Energy Facility is owned, rent is 4 times amount shown on dice. MKE
what does the {loSlogh boq'egh mI' naghmey mI'} actually mean ? "roll the dice four times" ?
loSlogh boq'egh mI' naghmey mI'; chen qav'ap "the dice's {mI' naghmey} number {mI'} allies with itself four times; the amount forms"
and why do we have the second {mI'} (after the {naghmey}) ?
{mI' naghmey mI'} "the dice's number, the number on the dice"
Duj ghajchugh vay', cha'logh boq'egh qav'ap motlh; chen qav'ap le'. ghajwI'vaD qav'ap le' yIDIl. If [ship is] owned, pay owner twice the rental to which they are otherwise entitled. MKE
{cha'logh boq'egh qav'ap motlh} means "the usual price is doubled" ?
cha'logh boq'egh qav'ap motlh; chen qav'ap le' "the usual amount allies with itself two times; the special amount forms"
I read [] the given English translation, but I just want to be sure that I understand this correctly.
{boq'egh} "ally with oneself" is used in Klingon math for multiplication:
2 × 3 = 6 cha'logh boq'egh wej; chen jav "twice, three allies with itself, six forms" (HQ 9.3)
3 × 2 wejlogh boq'egh cha' "three times, two allies with itself" (HQ 9.3)
