<div style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;">He probably was just trying to approximate the human sentiment, but there is something nice and Klingon about the phrase <bIrach'eghjaj.></div>
<div style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;">He's not saying "Hope you get well soon (by some magic)!" or "Hope the doctors take care of you!"; he's saying "May you fortify yourself!", suggesting you should meet your illness actively and head-on.</div>
<div style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;">Perhaps a Klingon would be even more straightforward, and simply say <yIrach'egh jay'!> ("Sort yourself out, for frak's sake!")</div>

<div style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;">New sentences are always useful; we should be aware that MO does not necessarily intend for everything he writes to be regarded as exemplary, but it nevertheless gives us some additional insight into his thinking.
It also gives us a "best guess" to use until he elaborates on the subject at hand.<br>

<div style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;"><bama Hol> and <mIyanma Hol> could certainly be useful, even if it's unclear what the constituent words <bama> and <mIyanma> refer to (I'm assuming mIyanma refers to the country, but bama could be either an alternative
word for the country or referring to the Burmese people). Maybe you should take this as a sign that you need to translate the KLI's website into Burmese ;)</div>
