QaHra'mo' ter'eS  Voragh  ghunchu'wI' je' Satlho'

ghIlghameS is the only book I don't yet have.. I will obviously have to put 
that right.

Ok so back to [retlh] and fixing my mistake of missing  [-Daq] off.  if I 
wanted to translate, "I'd like a window seat, please." and taking into 
account that a Klingon would be more direct and not say please I thought 
maybe [Qorwagh retlh quSDaq vIba' vIneH].

Although saying that with the sea shore [bIQ'a' HeH] instead of [bIQ'a' HeH 
retlh] example,  I wonder if anyone thinks that the use of [retch] is also 
redundant here. Maybe [Qorwagh quSDaq vIba' vIneH] is good enough.
