In a message dated 95-12-12 21:05:55 EST, you write:

>SoH DaHoHchugh, not DanuQqa'.

I cannot find the noun you have used as the object of the second sentence,
{SoH}.  {DaHoH} means "you kill him/her/it," someone third-person.  So, I
translate {SoH DaHoHchugh, not DanuQqa'} as "If you kill SoH (perhaps a
person's name???), never will you annoy him/her again.  Somehow, I'm not sure
this was your original intention.
