Here's what I have in my notes excluding the BoP Poster examples: (st.klingon 10/22/1997): A common unit of weight is {cheb}, which is around five pounds (2.25 kg or so). (Felix Malmenbeck recalculated the conversion, 7/26/2017): All in all, 1 {cheb} ≈ 2,34 kg seems a decent rule of thumb. (charghwI', IMO in HolQeD [number/date?]): A {cheb'a'} is equal to 9 times a {cheb}. (charghwI’, 12/1999): [Okrand] said in a conversation surrounding but not in the HolQeD interview that most units of measure had alternate forms [with] {-'a'} added to mean "9 times", so that one {'uj'a'} = 9 {'ujmey." See also http://klingonska.org/dict/?q=cheb%27a%27 for the {cheb'a'} entry in the Klingon Pocket Dictionary. -- Voragh Ca'Non Master of the Klingons -----Original Message----------Original Message----------Original Message----- From: Lieven L. Litaer Sent: Wednesday, October 28, 2020 3:31 AM I know that {cheb} is defined as "roughly 5 lbs" in Okrand's Usenet message. And the BoP poster mentions the weight of {cheb'a'} in the following relationship: 375,000 cheb'a' = 8.7 KT I remember reading that 1 {cheb'a'} might be 9 {cheb}, but no matter what I calculate, I don't get it – so where's my error? -- Lieven L.
