I'm not sure about the list etiquette for this sort of request, so I'll just
ask in general:
DloraH: This is my translation of a recent post of yours. I think I
understand the gist of it, but I had to take liberties with some of the
English. The grammar in it sometimes puzzles me, especially the line
potlh [puq] [nen] [qup] je buv neH.
It merely classifies: a child, maturity, and an elder are important.
Today is my birthday.
In order that I observe this important event,
I refuse to celebrate birthday(s).
The first reason: I lack definite friends and
I have friends, but I lack definite friends here.
The second reason: people create calendars.
What does it represent?
When I'm born - "coordinates": Earth orbits our sun
resembles
When happens - "coordinates": Earth orbits our sun
It merely represents: the earth orbits the sun X-times.
It merely classifies: a child, maturity, and an elder are important.
I planned to meet two friends in a bar.
If I observe the birthday I refuse to approach the bar.
I refuse to drink alcohol.
"While he is being drunk a warrior is not ready to fight."

I'd appreciate any comments.
