*{teSQaS} yIQIj. mu'qoqvam vIghovbe'. {Hoy'} DaghItlh 'e' DaHech'a'?

Unless I'm just missing something, it looks like you're using *{teSQaS} to 
mean "congratulations". I would have expected something using {Hoy'}, or 
{majQa'}. I've never seen *{teSQaS} before; did you see it somewhere 
else?  Or are you trying to make a bilingual pun, somehow using {teS}+{QaS} 
= "eardrum"+"troops" = "congratulations"?
