Be aware that this is the clipped form of the formal command, {yIqIm,
*Marchel*!}

For a "to be" sentence, you need a pronoun: {*loDDoq* 'oH pongwIj'e'}. See
TKD section 6.3
> SuH nuq?
{SuH} is an exclamation meaning "Ready!" or "Standing by!" or it can be used
just before giving a command or performing an action. But it's not usable in
a sentence. I don't know what you meant by {SuH nuq}, but {SuH} is not a
verb.
