I can't get Mr. Klingon to do it=2C but this must have been some sort of ma=
chine look up.
The word "will" only appears in the definition of <lu'=2C luq>.If you misty=
ped "you" as "your" one of the options you would get is <ra'>.
My guess is that somehow they got:Will =3D lu'=2C luqyou(r) =3D ra'marry =
=3D nayme =3D jIH
Remove the apostrophes and "fix" the capitalization and punctuation and you=
get the sentence presented.
