Hi!

I'm a beginner speaker. I've been reading the list with delight. I have
downloaded the pojwI' program from the ftp.kli.org and I love it! It's 
become one of my 'can't live without it' programs.

Ok, I've been playing with word formations (It will take a while before
I tackle sentences). I came up with a few words and I would like to have
the begginer's grammarians look at it.

midshipman             -  botlh Dujbeq  or beqHom
messanger              -  De'nobwI'
orator (or speaker)    -  latlh jatlhwI'
laborer                -  vumwI'
judge                  -  noHwI'
major (of city)        -  vengqumwI'

ok, I've been trying to translate the meaning and not 'word by word'. 
After looking up the meaning of the following terms in dictionaries and
encyclopaedias, The closest I could come to the next ones in meaning 
is this:

branch Admiral         -  'ay''aj
rear Admiral           -  yav'aj

Thanks!  batlh Daqawlu'taH...
