Re: KLBC: HaDIbaHpu' le' mach



ghItlh 'etlhqengwI':
>HaDIbaH wa'DIch:  DaHjaj ram machav nuq, yab?

[It's spelled {Ha'DIbaH}.  A Klingon spelling checker would be a great
tool for beginners and experts alike. :-)]

>HaDIbaH cha'DIch: Hoch DaHjaj ram Doch rap wIchav, machwI'.

{Hoch DaHjaj ram} translates as "everything's today's night".  I'm pretty
sure you don't want {DaHjaj} there.  To say something like "every night",
the Klingon is {ram Hoch} "all of the night(s)".  {Doch} is such an
imprecise term; maybe you could use {ta'} instead.

>yuQ wIchargh wInIDqu'taH!

This needs to be {yuQ wIchargh 'e' wInIDqu'taH}.  The pronoun {'e'} is the
object of {wInIDqu'taH}, standing for {yuQ wIchargh}.

[I'd probably have used the word {Ha'DIbaHHom} to refer to them (or, just
maybe, {yIHHey}).]
