Isn't {rup} a verb?

bIjatlhrup. HIvoq.

wa'DIch is an ordinal number, not an adverb. You could use {qaSpa'}
or {jIjatlhruppa'} here.

It's not very understandable. We have one disputed canon example,
{meQbogh qachDaq ...} but it puts the type-5 on the subject noun,
which makes it a little easier to read. At any rate, you don't need
it here.
"Thank you for the opportunity you have given me" is rendered better
in Klingon (and probably in English too) as {'eb chonobmo' qatlho'} "I
thank you for giving me the opportunity" or even {'eb vItlho'} "I
appreciate the opportunity."

That would be for getting a hotel room at qep'a' rates, and being in
on the catered events. Seeing as last year we were inviting mundanes
(conspeak for unsuspecting individuals who happen to be in the
vicinity of a fandom event) into the games room to teach them about
the warriors tongue, I can't imagine Lawrence turning away a paying
jatlhwI' (or him surviving Qanqor and me if he tried).
