{mo'} on it's own means the noun "cage", not "because". That's the suffix
-mo' (both verb and noun, I believe). So the above it not correct Klingon
for "I have chosen QetaH just because I like the sound of it". The object of
{jIwIvta'} should be your name, yet you put it in the subject position. And
then you use the {jI-} prefix even though use objects in your sentences. I
would (re)write this as "neH QIch vIparHa'mo' QetaH vIwIvta'" or something.
That's at least grammatically correct (I hope ;-)).
