So, "I will discuss this idea tomorrow" would be:
{wa'leS qechvam jIja'chuq} or {wa'leS qechvam vIja'chuq}?

jIchIDnIS: jImIS. pabchugh mu'tlhegh {quv HIja'chuqQo'}, pabDaj vIyajbe'.

I don't remember seeing that line at the qep'a' either this or last year.
I was working with Qanqor and ghunchu'wI', and I think they would have commented on
it had they seen it. I suppose the same goes for the people in the other group 
(Qov, QeS and pagh).
