[Tlhingan-hol] New canon phrases (no new words, or maybe there are)

today. Enjoy your birthday again!*

you say it!)

= You are right. Unfortunately my Facebook is stupid. It does not show the
words in Burmese/Myanmar language. It shows only numbers.*

qun: bama Hol mIllogh lo' Marc, 'ach bama Hol vIghItlh jIH, bama Hol
lucha'chu'be' De'wI'mey law'. vaj vIjatlh: "tlhIngan Hol pIqaD 'oHba'

For the impatient or beginners:
In short, these are three messages by MO to me, on Facebook. The first two
are new, a belated birthday wish and a reply to my post that I'm sick at
the moment. They don't contain any new words, but we get a sentence that we
could use when someone is sick. I don't know if Klingons themselves would
use it. Probably not. ;)
The third one is from last year, I might have posted it before. A reply to
my reply after his birthday wish in Burmese. Maybe these canon sentences
are useful for some. You could interpret it to contain three new words:

bama (Hol) = Burma / Burmese
mIyanma (Hol) = Myanmar (language)
qabpaq = Facebook (this might just be a joke, of course)

I hope this information is useful for some of you. It was, for me.

Have a nice weekend!
- André
