Leaving aside the fact that Hallowe'en is not the Day of the Dead...
You mean "HeghwI' jaj"? That works. "*Heghlu'wI'" doesn't make much
sense. -lu' means that the subject is unspecified, and -wI' means that the
subject is the noun we're talking about. Woops. "HeghwI'" isn't bad,
though "Heghpu'wI'" is perhaps better (those who have died). There's also
"lom"/corpse, which isn't quite what you mean.
