Klingon word: ra'Duch tIQ Part of speech: noun Definition: equilateral triangle (lit: ancient triangle) Source: Marc Okrand at European qepHom 1/25/2014 _______________________________________________ ra'Duch triangle (n) (qepHom 2014) ra'Duch quv isosceles triangle ra'Duch puj scalene triangle ra'Duch tIQ equilateral triangle ra'Duch tut prism (three-sided base) (De'vID @ qepHom 2014, 11/16/2014): Traditionally (meaning long ago), angles were measured using a unit called a {law}. Using the decimal counting system, there were 243 {lawmey} in a {gho} (circle), and each angle in a {ra'Duch tIQ} (equilateral triangle) had 40.5 {lawmey}. These days, Klingons reckon angles the way most of the galaxy does. The unit of measure (degree) is a {lawrI'} (some people say {law chu'}, though that's used less and less), and there are 360 {lawrI'mey} in a {gho} and 60 {lawrI'mey} in each angle of a {ra'Duch tIQ}. ... {tIQ} in {ra'Duch tIQ} "equilateral triangle" is used for triangles only. For other polygons with equal sides/angles, the word {HoS} is used instead.
