Also from Klingon Monopoly:
{pIraqSIS HoS waw' ghajlu'chugh, loSlogh boq'egh mI' naghmey mI'; chen qav'ap.}
"If Praxis Energy Facility is owned, rent is 4 times amount shown on dice."
Voragh:
> I don't know if the following can be used with anything other than aircraft (or spacecraft), but here they are FYI:
> ron roll, bank (i.e. aircraft)
> ronmoH [cause to] roll [i.e. aircraft]
> IOW can one say *{mI' naghmey ronmoH QujwI'} "the player rolled the dice"? Probably not.
mI' naghvaD {ronmoH} lo'bej tlhIngan Monopoly Quj.
Klingon Monopoly confirms {mI' naghmey tIronmoH} for "throw (or roll)
dice". It's used in the following sentence:
{HoSHal ghajchugh vay', mI' naghmey tIronmoH. wa'maHlogh boq'egh mI'
naghmey; chen qav'ap. ghajwI'vaD qav'ap yIDIl.}
"If [energy source is] owned, throw dice and pay owner a total ten
times amount shown."
(The "[energy source is]" part isn't on the card, but it's implied by
context as it follows instructions to the player to move to the energy
source.)
