: Howdy all

: In a letter sent to me recently by Krankor (BTW, Thanks, Krankor!),
: there was this puzzling construction, that I just can't figure out:
:
: reH Qapla' Daghajjaj
:
: No problem with the first 2 words: reH - always (adv); Qapla' -
: success (n). What is that last word?
:
: Da - behave as (v)
: ghaj - have (v)
: jaj - day (n)
:
: My only resource is TKD, so if there's other vocab out there, like
: from CK, then I'm missing it. Thanks for the help!
My Klingon is not good at all (hence my lack of posts in Klingon -- I still
haven't picked up CK), and I don't have TKD here, so I'm not sure about
"-ghaj," though i think it's a possessive, but I do know that the addendum to
TKD gives "-jaj" as a verb suffix for "may....," e. g. (I hope I'm getting this
right! ;> ) "ghoSjaj" would mean something like "may he come."
