jabbI'IDlIj vIlaDpu'.
[untranslated] (st.klngon, MO to SuStel 11/96)

[Here on the tlhIngan_Hol list we've long used {jabbI'ID} for "message" 
(though now we have {QIn} "message" from KGT), "article, (email) post, 
etc." and *{jabbI'IDghom} for "mailing list, newsgroup, BBS".]

N.B.:

tlhIngan jabbI'ID le'
"Special Klingon Issue" (ST Communicator #104 [1995])

Cf. {De'} "data" and the pair of verbs {lab} "transmit data (away from a 
place)" and {lI'}  "transmit data (to a place)".
