I honestly thank you for the correction, and I am not offended. I admit
that I was confused - like many others as you explained - with the
regular tetrahedron.

Even when one looks at Wikipedia, the first image shown gives you the
regular tetrahedron, and I always had in mind the image of the regular
tetrahedron, but never thought of the basic definition. Again, this
shows what you can learn while learning Klingon :-)

Briefly following Okrands description, one could make a dictionary entry
like {qu'vu'} = tetrahedron.
