pach wIqelbe'. jej qa'vIn.

I'm glad you read KGT, but you misread this part just a wee bit. <jej pach>
is an example of this use of <jej>, not the example. <jej> is basically a
slang meaning of <tlhorgh>. I don't have my copy of KGT handy to verify, so
I could be wrong. I'll check later.

chaq.

jav??? law'bej nIm Dalo'bogh.

It should be ngaSwI'Hom, and you are missing a <-DI'> on <ghaj>.

> SKI: Try Caffe Latte.  It's good.

qa'vIn vItlhutlhDI', qIj 'ej HoS 'e' vImaS. nIm vItlhutlh vIneHDI', ghaytan
milkshake vItlhutlh.

Note: I did not and will not ever say <Qompu'bogh nIm> for "milkshake", but
the thought did pop into my head.
