bIQ chIS DujHom vIlo'meH mIw vIghoj. The {'e'} was a remnant of
an earlier version of the sentence I had started and then
abandoned. This is evidence of why I am less skilled with the
language in person than I am at the keyboard. I still have
trouble with the language in real time. Only at qep'a' do I have
others to speak with. I can definitely speak it better now than
I could in earlier years and I credit qep'a' for most of that
improvement.
There is so much more time between qep'a'mey than during. I am
still very much a better writer than speaker.
