Keep in mind, though, that in good Klingon fashion, {jISaHbe'} "I am not
present" also means "I don't care" (look up {SaH} in TKD) -- which I rather
like as an ambiguous voicemail or answering machine "greeting".
Klingon-speaking callers will get the double entendre, the rest won't
understand it anyway.
Other ways to say "I'm not here" are {jIDach} "I'm absent" or the
over-literal {naDev jIHtaHbe'} "I am not (located) here".
