Yes. It'd be good, except that {-Qo'} normally goes after all other suffixes
unless there's a type 9, right? It would be imesho clearer anyhow if the
{-Qo'} was at the end. Also, you're tredding on thin ice with a
double-predicate causative here. Recall that there is no {-vaD} involved with
the verb {loS}, as it is given in TKD as "wait *for*", indicating
transitivity.

Normally I would wait for a Grammarian's comments, but these are rather
sticky grammatical points, with differing opinions coming from different
people. It's more of a matter of personal opinion about your line here, than
simple correction of grammar.
