That seems a bit of a contradiction given that you had to transmit in order to
tell us that you haven't transmitted! :)

Since the subject is the name, you need {'oH}, not {ghaH}. And why is Do'val
only a {pongqoq}? SuStel is quite definitely my name, or one of them, even if
it is a self-chosen one. You might use {tera' pong} and {tlhIngan pong}.

Is that what you intended?

To describe someone's age, you talk about how many "years ago" the person was
born.
wa'maH wa' ben, chorgh ben, jav ben je bogh puqbe'wI'.

Does this mean you're making changes to Klingon?
Perhaps {tlhIngan Hol laHwIj} or {tlhIngan Hol jatlhlaHghach}.
