I found this in my notes from qep’a’ wa’maHDIch (2003): (DloraH, 9/16/2003): Once in a while here we would have discussions about when exactly the point of completion occurs in relation to a timestamp or {-taHvIS}. [E.g.] {wejHu' vIHoHta'}. Did I kill him BEFORE three days ago? (possibly) Could I have done the killing ON that day (three days ago)? Yes. Some people (including myself), thought that the {-ta'} had to be true at any point in time of that day. At one second after midnight, {-ta'} would mean that the killing took place before three days ago. But without specifying that precise time, you have until 23:59 on that day for the event to become {-ta'}. Some examples of {-pu’} used with a time stamp: tera' vatlh DIS poH cha'maH loS bong QongmeH qItI'nga' Duj tI'ang ghompu' DIvI' 'ejDo' 'entepray' A sleeper ship of this [K'Tinga] class, the T'Ong, was encountered in the 24th century by the USS Enterprise. S15 HovpoH Hut vagh cha' wa' vI' jav Dujvam 'aghlu'pu' 'ach Qaw'lu'pu' [This ship was demonstrated on Stardate 9521.6 but it was destroyed.

Literally though, the klingon goes "41 years ago I have been born" i.e. 41 years ago my "being born" has been completed. Lets forget this for the moment.. If I write {wa'Hu' pItSa' vISoppu'}, this means that "one day ago my eating the pizza has been completed". But I could have eaten this pizza many days ago, and yesterday is just another day during which my eating of the pizza continues to be completed. I remember someone asked Okrand about something similar to this, and he replied that using {-pu'} with a time-stamp adverbial implies that the completion occured at the time of the time stamp. Sadly, I am having trouble finding the exact canon for this at the moment.
