qay'be', jupwI'. I mostly understood what you meant. And the other
readers on this list should know that Qov tried to tell me that using
only Klingon!
Actually, during those three days I have spoken more klingon than I ever
did altogether probably. When I first met Qov at the hotel, I spoke to
her in Klingon, she replied in Klingon, and we could hold "the vow"
until the end of the qepHom. I did not hear Qov speak one single word in
english.
It helped me a lot, btw, cause I remembered words which I already knew,
but never used and therefore had forgotten.
One very special experience was when I explained one of the new words
(which I had used in an email before the qepHom) to Qov, using ONLY Klingon.

Attention: We do not know if it an have an object and if it does, we do
not know what the object might be.

pItlhbe'... oh, no, that's NOT a new word ;- )
