In greece, we have a word which describes the time of day from around 1.00 pm to roughly 4.00 pm. And another word for the time of day between lets say 5.00 pm to around 7.30 pm. What does the {DungluQ) actually describe ? qunnoH ghoghwIj HablI'vo' vIngeHta'

*DungluQ* is /noon,/ or 12 pm. In English we have the words /morning, afternoon, evening,/ and /night,/ which aren't rigidly defined by clock-time/. /A common understanding is that morning is from dawn to 11:59 am; afternoon is from 12:01 pm to the beginning of twilight; evening is from the beginning of twilight to the end of dusk; night is everything else. /Evening,/ in particular, changes in meaning depending on the speaker and the context; it can often cover what might otherwise be considered the late part of the afternoon. Klingon has the following words, which may or may not correspond to the English terms: *pem*/daytime/ *jajlo'*/dawn/ *po*///morning **/*DungluQ*/noon /*pov*/afternoon /*choS***/twilight/ *tlhom*/dusk /*ram*/night /*ramjep*/midnight/ -- SuStel http://trimboli.name

Actually in greek too, these words aren't rigidly defined by clock-time; I used specific clock times, in order to adequately describe the intented question. However another question came to mind.. Assume I want to ask: "do you sleep between 3.00pm and 5.00pm ?" How would someone express this in klingon ? (Without using the words evening, noon etc) I can't find a single way of saying this.. qunnoH jan puqloD On Tue, Nov 8, 2016 at 4:44 PM, SuStel <sustel@trimboli.name> wrote:

DungluQ is noon, or 12 pm.
