"today afternoon" or "today's afternoon") st.k TREK NOTES: ODO: Security reassignments, Major. Sorry it took so long. It's been a Klingon afternoon. KIRA: A Klingon afternoon? ODO: Every time Klingons come to the station, I wind up with a Klingon afternoon. [ .... ] ODO: There's a drunk Klingon [Kor] in my holding cell who must be a hundred years old, singing battle songs. Even his best friend [Koloth], who's probably a hundred and fifty years old, won't have anything to do with him, so I get the pleasure of listening to his repertoire." (Odo to Kira, DS9 "Blood Oath") TERRAN NOTES: HOWARD: So, listen, what are you doing tomorrow afternoon? SHELDON: Be more specific. HOWARD: Four thirty. SHELDON: That's not afternoon. That's preevning. HOWARD: What? SHELDON: It's a time of day I invented. It better defines the ambiguous period between afternoon and evening. Preevning. I'm fairly certain it will catch on as it fills a desperate need. RAJ: Right, okay. What are you doing tomorrow preevning? SHELDON: Well, tomorrow's Saturday. Saturday night is laundry night, so I'll be spending the preevning pre-sorting and pre-soaking. [The Big Bang Theory 3.3 "The Lunar Excitation"] -- Voragh Ca'Non Master of the Klingons

A shortened form is also possible: {DaHpov} From qepHom 2023, reported to the mailing list on Nov 19, 2023: During the party at the second night, some attendee proudly came to me and reported we finally got a word for "tonight": it's {DaHram} It's confirmed by Marc Okrand that this is a new word. While we were discussing this with him, we immediately came to the conclusion: if you have {DaHram}, there must also be {DaHpem}. He also confirmed that other combinations were possible, like {DaHpo} and {DaHpov} etc. During that same discussion, we realized that terms for "tonight" and so on had already been discussed many years before: see MSN 1997-06-29 Okrand said that's no problem. The new words are just shortened forms of the longer phrases. So basically, {DaHram} is a short form for {DaHjaj ram} and so on. -- Lieven L.

It turns out that I had that in my notes after all -- in every one of the entries except {DaHpov}!
