Actually this isn't my first post, I've just been inactive for a (long)

Actually "presens" was supposed to be "precense" (I think), the present-time
aspect anyway, however you spell it. And I don't even remember why I put
the -raj suffix at the end. The sentence is directed to one person
(specifically to Picard in ST:FC :). So it should have been -lIj.
