If you say so... :)

I think you fixed some stuff that wasn't broken, though, so it doesn't work
anymore.

I'd told you to use "jey" instead of "*jay", since you had a typo.  I don't
know why you made it "chejeychu'", though: you had "re-" last time.  This
way means "If you fight us, you'll defeat us utterly."  This a Ferengi song
or something?  :)  The "re-" was right in the first place.  (these are
probably the two last prefixes I got control of, btw.  Nice way to remember
them that Glen told me, at least for "che-": "che-" is the same as "cho-"
but with both subject and object pluralized.)

OK, this *is* the Klingon list... but it's Paradise with an s.

If this weren't a song, I'd hassle you to make this "mayIntaHvIS".  But I
can let it go for meter.
