qay'be', jupwI'. I mostly understood what you meant. And the other 
readers on this list should know that Qov tried to tell me that using 
only Klingon!

Actually, during those three days I have spoken more klingon than I ever 
did altogether probably. When I first met Qov at the hotel, I spoke to 
her in Klingon, she replied in Klingon, and we could hold "the vow" 
until the end of the qepHom. I did not hear Qov speak one single word in 
english.

It helped me a lot, btw, cause I remembered  words which I already knew, 
but never used and therefore had forgotten.

One very special experience was when I explained one of the new words 
(which I had used in an email before the qepHom) to Qov, using ONLY Klingon.

Attention: We do not know if it an have an object and if it does, we do 
not know what the object might be.

> pItlh

pItlhbe'... oh, no, that's NOT a new word ;- )
