Jon --

I thought about that when I was doing the time phrases. My thinking at the
time was something like this: 9 hundred is Hutvatlh, as you say. Normal way
to say "900." 10 hundred -- other than when talking about time -- probably
wouldn't be said in Klingon. Instead, you'd say "one thousand" (wa'SaD,
wa'SanID). So "10 hundred" is a specialized form for time only. The idea of
telling time by using "hundreds" was borrowed by Klingons from some other
culture, so it's already weird and therefore doesn't have to follow normal
Klingon rules. I separated the vatlh from the wa'maH to show that it is a
specialized usage of vatlh (wa'maHvatlh can't be a normal Klingon number). I
left it attached to Hutvatlh and so on because they happen to be regular
Klingon numbers anyway.

For better or worse, that's was I was thinking. I think it's OK to have the
vatlh as a separate word (though I'm sure it will spark a lot of discussion
and probably some disagreement).

All the best,

- Marc
