Because it is a wish doesn't automaticly make it a toast.
Jack is a man.  But that doesn't mean that a man is Jack.
Read all of page 25
If it is given as a toast then yes, -jaj goes at the end.

Most likely this [-jaj] would be spoken as a toast, but that is not absolute.
Instead of "Therefore, it is equal to a toast.", say "If it is a toast..."
