Sounds like fun! Won't be able to join the team myself, however.
From here<http://daily-klingon.tumblr.com/post/132822212317/units-of-measurement> we find the Klingon unit of length 'uj' is 34.83cm (derived from BoP poster).
Can anyone confirm this?
Yup, 34,83 cm seems about right. I did an investigation previously on this list and reached the same conclusion: http://stodi.lojban.org/~clsn/webarchives/2012/March/msg00130.html
We understand the Klingon number system was originally ternary, but was decimalized to
facilitate communication with other civilizations. Might we report units of 'uj' as 0.1 uj, 0.2 uj, etc?
Sadly, we know very little of units of length smaller than one 'uj, but yes, there is confirmation of those measurements being expressed using decimals. In the link above, you'll find examples such as wejvatlh loSmaH loS vI' vagh wej 'ujmey (344,53 'ujmey)
Should a Klingon ruler double as a weapon?
Depends on the end-user, I suppose, but I personally would advise against it; rulers are rulers and weapons are weapons. ________________________________ From: tlhIngan-Hol <tlhingan-hol-bounces@lists.kli.org> on behalf of Benjamin Atkinson <benjamin.atkinson@gmail.com> Sent: Wednesday, November 2, 2016 20:47 To: tlhingan-hol@lists.kli.org Subject: [tlhIngan Hol] Anyone wan to help design a Klingon ruler? My kids and I are trying to design a Klingon ruler. We could use some help. I cannot promise you riches or battle glory, but if we pull this off, I'll send you a Klingon ruler of your very own.
