[Tlhingan-hol] Klingon Word of the Day: DaHjaj

     It has also been speculated that
there was once a bit more to this
expression, namely an element

     That is, <Today, how many times
has someone heard it?> suggesting that
the questioner is concerned about
how much time has gone by <today>
(as opposed to, say, <this week>).
