actually, that would probably be a really good idea... if charghwI' or
~mark or anyone else would be willing to take the time. *shrug* up to
them, i suppose....

well, not that its my place to correct you, but let me say a couple of
things here:
> tlhIngan Hol vIghItlh 'e' vImevQo'!
<-Qo'> is a suffix only used on imperatives; <-be'> is what you want
here. <-be'> acts as the negation of most verbs, but it can't go on
imperatives; that's why we have <-Qo'>. maj!
> reH jabbI'IDlIj muQaH
here, <jabbI'IDlIj> is your subject, and thus it should go *after* the
verb. you've got the right pronominal prefix on the verb (<mu-> for
it-to-me); word order is your only mistake. you should have
<reH muQaH jabbI'IDlIj>
do you see how it works? in english, word order is Subject-Verb-Object;
in tlhIngan Hol, its the other way around: Object-Verb-Subject.
