As usual, I invite, in fact, require (after all, this is Klingon)
comments on my above message. I have a few questions:
1) How does one say the adverbs/adjectives: again, another, still?
2) How would one say the prep phrase being used as an adjective
"with interesting grammar" as in "letters with interesting grammar?"
3) How would one use both -jaj and -meH in such a way to mean
"so that I may," for example "Do this so that I may do that?"
I guess one could use -laH instead of -jaj, come to think of it.
In which case, could one explain further -jaj? "So may the road
rise up to meet you, may the wind be always at your back, may
the sun shine warm upon your face..."
4) How would one translate the sentence "If `Qapla'` is not a
closing, then what is it?" into Klingon? I'm having a bit of
a problem forming sentences using "to be" where one of the
things are not a pronoun. Like how would I say "The building
is a house." I could say "I am a house," but not the above.
At any rate, please mail me and let me know what you think
my message above says. After you've done that, this is what
it says: (Or so I tried to make it say)

Needing more practice in Klingon, I am writing another letter. I
would like to see long letters with interesting grammar in them.
I am still looking for an issue or two of HolQeD to look at. How
many issues are there? It is fun writing in Klingon. If Qapla' is
not a closing, then what is it? Write back, Admiral Doug

Thanks for looking at my stuff and answering my questions...
Doug
