qatlho'. Based on the quoted post, I would think the most appropriate
rendition of "wall" in the Facebook sense would be <chevwI' tlhoy'> or <pIn
tlhoy'>, referring to walls that separate territories with different people
in charge.

Your wall is a place where you can display things for your friends (and also
where they can display things for you, if you allow it). So <bey'> is on
the right track, but <jup bey'> sounds like you're displaying your friends,
or it might refer to a <jup>'s <bey'> (a "friend's wall" would then be <jup
jup bey'>), which would be confusing.
