More stuff...

Does he really "possess" the task?  The English "have" is notoriously
polysemous (almost as much as "be"); I try not to rely on its multifarious
meanings in other languages.  Probably "Qatlh Qu'lIj".  cf. "Hab SoSlI'
Quch" instead of "?Quch Hab ghah SoSlI'".  Second sentence I already
commented on.

Make up your mind; is it a command or a question?  I don't really
understand how an imperative and an interrogative can make sense together.
