Wouldn't just "forehead" be enough? Also, watch to make sure that your
sentence order is correct. "Forehead" should be in the object position.
SuvwI' Quch Daghajbe'.
"Advances" doesn't make any sense here that I can see. And the area above the
forehead . . . well, perhaps it would be understood, but I usually would think
of it as the air directly above the forehead.
> K: mutuHmoH Qaghmeyra'
> E: Your mistakes shame me
Only if the mistakes are capable of speaking! Otherwise, the correct suffix
is {-raj}.
mutuHmoH Qaghmeyraj.
Your mistakes shame me. (The "you" is plural here.)
