[Tlhingan-hol] geometry terminology in Klingon

[De'vID]

Voragh:
>> Note the use of {reD}:  {loS/vagh reD mey'} a "four/five wall polygon.
>> We also had {Dop} "side", so I'm not sure how this is different.

Quvar:
> Well, I don't remember every use of Dop/"side", but it seems to be a more
> abstract use, as in "put it on the side", or also in the sense of "left
> side" and "right side".
>
> The surfaces / sides of a box are something else. They close a two- or
> three-dimensional area.

If {Dop} is used in a geometric context, I'd understand it as "face"
(i.e., the front or back side of a polygon).

Note that its usage in Klingon Monopoly, {'echletHom Dopvam yIcha'}
"card must be turned this side up", is consistent with this. (A card
is, after all, just a rectangle.)
