SuStel: << I wonder how Klingons would translate the names Ingraham B and Theta Cygni XII? SuStel's post reminded me about the "Prime" planet names from Klingon Monopoly: qarDaS wa' Cardassia Prime (i.e. the Cardassian homeworld) qu'rIl wa' Kurill Prime (in Gamma Quadrant) QI'yoS wa' Krios Prime (a Klingon colony planet ) yaDe'ra' wa' Yadera Prime (Dominion planet in Gamma Quadrant) I've previously used ordinal numbers for the Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and Delta Quadrants (jogh wa'DIch, jogh cha'DIch, etc.), but now I would use cardinal numerals: jogh wa', jogh cha', etc. No doubt Klingons have their own names for these but in the meantime what about Alpha 177, Memory Alpha , Alpha Cygni, Alpha Carinae II , Alpha Centauri, Beta XII-A, Beta Stromgren, Gamma II, Gamma Hydra IV, the Gamma Canaris region, Delta-Vega, the Delta Expanse, Epsilon Canaris III, etc., etc.? --Voragh -----Original Message----- From: Voragh Yes, we have seen Okrand translate things expressed with Roman numbers in “Federation Standard” – planet names: nImbuS wej Nimbus III (GN) tlh'a' HoD, nImbuS wej yIghoS.

The point here is that royal names are read out using the cardinal number (just like planet names), not the ordinal with –DIch as in, say, English king Henry the Eighth. --Voragh From: mayqel qunenoS However, I anxiously await for our honorable Ca'non master to decloak his bird of prey, and shed some light on the matter. And the question we need him to answer is "are there canon sentences, which were not written for actors, utilizing roman numerals ?".
