| 'ARLOG | how many times? (ques) There are several ways to ask ‘What time is it?’ When working within the 24 hour interplanetary communication as favoured by the Federation it is not a question but a command; REP YIPER - 'ascertain/specify the hour’. In non-military contexts and situations where interplanetary communication is not a concern the most common way of asking this question however is quite different. It is based on the way the question was asked in ancient times; 'ARLOG QOYLU'PU' - How many times has (someone) heard (it)? or How many times has somone heard it? The answer to this question for example would be CA'LOG QOYLU'PU' for two o’clock [NEWS group online, 2/3/99] |
