Depends on the situation. Why are you proud? Are you proud in general,
or did something happen?
TKW (p.13) says {Hem tlhIngan Segh} "Klingons are a proud race", without
giving a reason (yeeaa - ram meqmey ;-) )
vagh targh HoH puqloDwI' - jIHemqu'.
My son killed five Targs - I'm very proud (of him).
ghItlh Daj Daqonta' - jIHem.
You wrote an interesting letter - I am proud (of you).
So I think that {jIHem} is sufficient, but one may also add any
information you like. It's not necessary.
