Re: [Tlhingan-hol] types of phrases
In Klingon Christmas Carol we have this phrase to start the toast: "HIvje'meyraj tIpep!" or "HIvje'raj tIpep" ... there's been disagreement back and forth as to whether the "mey" is needed.<br>

<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">We have {mu'tlhegh} for "sentence" and {vIttlhegh} for "proverb" as<br>
well as types of the latter, {qa'meH vIttlhegh} and {peghmey<br>
vIttlhegh}.<br>
<br>
But do we have...<br>
- a Klingon word for "idiom"?<br>
- a Klingon word for "slang"?<br>
- a Klingon phrase for "Empire Union Day"?<br>
- an English translation of {QI'lop}?<br>
- a Klingon word or phrase for "toast" (something you say when you<br>
drink in a group)?<br>
- English or Klingon expression for the kinds of things you say when<br>
you reject a suitor (e.g., "I must wash my hair now")?<br>
<br>
I ask because I've been asked to add a "Useful phrases" section (which<br>
I've rendered as {mu'tlheghmey lI'}) to my app, and I need English and<br>
Klingon names for each of the subcategories.<br>
