You said "SuStel"?  Why?  Are you trying to get my attention?  Why not say 
{SuStel, yIqIm!}

The first part of this is actually a sentence-as-object.  {ghItlhmey vIlaDtaH 
'e' vInID}.  I put the {-taH} on {laD} because you're not allowed to put 
aspect suffixes on the second verb of a sentence-as-object.

Actually, you're not reading "manuscripts."  That's what {ghItlh} means.  Our 
preferred term is {jabbI'ID} "data transmission," since that's exactly what 
e-mail is.

jabbI'IDmey vIlaDtaH 'e' vInID 'ach mu'meyvam vImughlaHbe'.

All of these may be found on the New Words page.

Yes.  It's in TKD.
