I think you may of seen my little discussion with ghunchu'wI', when I said
you can start a may with "I want (it)..." {yIneH}, but ghunchu'wI' and
others said that I may use it, however seeing as Mark Okrand said that there
is only one greeting {nuqneH}, it would be wrong to use it as a greeting, in
any way or form.

I find {yIneH} much better, but I never use it.
