maj, Amy!

Maybe wIlajlaHbe' (laj 'accept', because this message is an
answer of sorts).

I'd rather see juta'chugh than junobchugh. English "give" is
being extended metaphorically here in a way I'm uncomfortable
with applying to nob, especially since its paired noun nob means
'gift'. You're not asking them to transfer their name and
number/hailing frequency to you!
