This one's pretty good (tho some of the later ones seem better and more
idiomatic). I'm glad I saw this one because it alerted me to the word
"mIw", which I didn't recall ever seeing. An English word which shares
some of its meanings, "way", is among the most common nouns in English. I
think "mIw" is a word worth remembering. (yes, I know that you can't
generalize to Klingon from English, etc... "have" is a common verb in
English and many languages do without it... I still think "mIw" will be
useful).
