Klingon word: HeDon Part of speech: noun Definition: parallel course Source: TKD _______________________________________________ AFAIK never used in a sentence . (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'}). (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}. "For parallel universe, I’d go with {'u' quq}, using {quq} "happen simultaneously, be simultaneous". (Lieven < MO, 1/08/2018) TREK TRIVIA: A Klingon D-7 battlecruiser maintained a parallel course with the Enterprise to Troyius. "He's paralleling us again." (Spock, TOS "Elaan of Troyius") "We are on a parallel course with [the asteroid-ship] Yonada." (TOS "For the World is Hollow and I Have Touched the Sky") SEE: He course, route (n) Don be parallel, go parallel to (v) SEE ALSO: nech be lateral, move laterally (v) SaS be horizontal (v) leD be perpendicular (v) taH be at a negative angle (v) tom be tilted (v) lol be in an attitude (v) -- Voragh Ca'Non Master of the Klingons
