I wanted to say *{Hat buj} “a temperature neither warm nor cool”, but I couldn’t find a simple way to connect it to the rest of the sentence without using {qaStaHvIS}. qaStaHvIS Hat buj, wa’logh maySon chavlu’ta’. Superconductivity achieved one time while a temperature neither warm nor cool occurs. “For the first time” is tricky too but as I said, I couldn’t resist the opportunity to be the first to use {maySon}.

I mean, I know in English, we do use the preposition “at”, but unless we are talking about where the needle of a dial points, this seems like an odd use of the concept of locative. So, if I diss something, I should come up with a positive suggestion, right? … aaaaand the word order is a little wonky. wa’logh bujtaHvIS maySon chavlu’ta’; pa’ Hat rur. qavuvHa’ vIneHbe’bej. pIj juQaHqa’. wa’ mu’tlhegh vItI’ neH. The word order is wrong, but the -Daq is correct: wa'logh pa' bujDaq maySon chavlu'ta' superconductivity achieved once in an average-temperature room The -Daq applies to the achievement taking place in a room of average temperature, not "at room temperature." charghwI’ vaghnerya’ngan rInpa’ bomnIS be’’a’ pI’.
