Neither, unless I can't read through the typos. I mean, Klingon doesn't
have a lower-case i or captial E in its standard orthograpohy, so I can't
even read these. The best "I love you" I can think of is "banwI' SoH",
which literally means "You are my beloved." I suppose that's close to the
first alternative. I can find no support for stuff r3esembling the second
one you gave.
