qeylIS loDnI' 'opleS chovan
One day, brother Kahless, you will bow before me. PB
{'op} "some, an unknown or unspecified quantity" + *{leS} "days from now". Cp. {wa'leS} tomorrow, {cha'leS} day after tomorrow, etc.
"Some day" also works for this idea of a some future day: e.g. "Someday my prince will come!"
