Hee. It's interesting the way you worded stuff here. I realize you're
trying to get the futureness of "won't" across, but you can't use -Qo' that
way. -Qo' implies refusal. Saying "Huch vIghajQo'" makes me think you've
taken a vow of poverty and refuse to have money. leSpoH vIghajQo' makes it
sound like you *could* have vacation if you wanted it, but will not take
it. You did fine with "qep'a' vISuchbe'" for "I won't be visiting the
qep'a'"; stick with -be' for Huch vIghajbe', etc. Klingon
honest-and-for-true doesn't have tenses.
