While speculating on Klingon mathematics, I've been using =ABjoj=BB and =AB=
He=BB to refer to paths and intervals.
Here'd some clearly ungrammatical stuff I've written, just to play around w=
ith what the notation might look like:

I wasn't sure if it referred only to physical circles (hoops), or
abstract ones. I guess the qep'a' 2005 sentence makes it clear that
it can refer to the abstract geometry shape.

Exactly. Or with {taQ} instead of {tIq}.
