[Tlhingan-hol] Klingon Word of the Day: nID

With a couple of small exceptions you've translated what was written. He was referring to a previous transmission which you at not have seen. Some comments:

> muQuchqu'mo'


should have been {muQuchmoHmo'} "because it makes me happy" and let's see what else we've got. 

Note jItaHlaHbe' - the prefix jI- means the subject of the verb is I.

> 'ej QInHommey Quch vIghItlh.

Remember that Klingon sentences are OVS but English sentences are generally written SVO. So translate this as "I will write happy notes." (presuming that "note" is the diminutive of message.  I'm not really sure why qunnoq considers his message to be less than a message).

> matammoH'eghjaj

Note that the suffixes are in the wrong order here.  It should be matam'eghmoHjaj. Also I suspect the author wants to express the "may" idea with the second verb, too, but the way you've translated it is what was written. 

majQa'. mughmeH Qu' ngeD DawIvbe'pu'.
