Klingon word: leD Part of speech: verb Definition: be perpendicular, be at a right angle Source: [qepHom 2014] _______________________________________________ leD rav tlhoy’ je the floor and the wall are perpendicular (to each other) (qepHom 2014 via De'vID) (De'vId, 11/16/2014): While {Don} means "be parallel", {DonHa’} does not mean "be perpendicular". It means something like "be misaligned". The word for be perpendicular is {leD} and it’s normally used with a plural subject: {leD rav tlhoy’ je} "the floor and the wall are perpendicular (to each other)". The word {leD} is also used to indicate a right angle: {tajvaj leD}. (De'vID, 11/19/2014): I actually specifically asked [Okrand] about how to use {Don}, and whether {DonHa'} means "perpendicular". The reason I asked about Don is that it's defined as both "be parallel" and "go parallel to", suggesting it can either take a plural subject (?{Don rav, rav'eq je}) or an object (?{'entepray' Don Qo'noS wa'}). He answered with {leD}, which he explained is normally used with plural subjects (implying it doesn't take an object). Does that make {Don} and {leD} a pair of words which one might expect to be parallel, but actually aren't quite – that is, as if they were misaligned ({DonHa'})? :-) I think that's part of the joke.
