Re: KLBC: jIlIH'egh



"KLBC"na' 'oHnIS QInvam'e' 'e' vISovbejbe'. qatlho', tulughmoHchu'mo'.
[I wasn't sure if this should be KLBC or not. But thanks for correcting me.]

jImejpu'pa' "transitive" 'oHchu' <<pong>> 'e' ghoHlu'pu'. jIlughbejbe'pu'.
[Before I had left it was debated whether pong was transitive. I was 
uncertain.]

jIDogh. vIlIj.
[Silly me. I forgot.]

<<'ul jonghach>> rurbogh vIjatlh 'e' vIHech. 'ach, bIlugh, <<'ul jonwI' 
jIHchoHmeH jIHaD. "German" vIHaD je.>> Soy' pup law' Hoch pup puS.
[I meant to say something like "electrical engineing." But, you're right, 
"I'm studying to be an electrical engineer; I'm also studying German" would 
be the most correct.]

> *UT*Daq *physics* HaD je wa' jupwI'.

qayajchu'be'. <<wa' jupwI'>> ghaH 'Iv? Hoch jupwI'?

Qu'vatlh! jIghItlhHa'. <<buy'bej lupmeywIj>> vIHechbej. chaq <<buy'bej 
lupmeywIj; verengan qur tepqengwI' rur.>> vIjatlhnIS. qoj <<veqlarghmey law' 
Suvbogh wa' loD'e' vIrurlaw'>> vIjatlhlaHpu'.
[Darn, typo. I meant to say "My seconds are full." Perhaps I ought to have 
said "My seconds are as packed as a greedy Ferengi's cargo ship." Or I could 
have said "I feel like one man fighting many devils."]
