Even when the subject of the verb is indefinite, indicated with {-lu'}, the
object still precedes the verb. {reH bang larghlu'} {puchpa' ghorlu'mo'}
chay' puchpa' ghor vay'? mupwI''a' lo''a'?

The sentence is a little redundant with {-law'} and {'e' vIQub} -- you're
really vague on this, eh?
}wa'leS tI'pu'chugh tlhIHvaD vIja'...
I like it, but the canon police tell me that we've never seen {ja'} take an
object other than
the person or persons addressed. So to be safe, you could either say
{...tI'pu'chugh Saja'} or {... tlhIHvaD vIjatlh} with something like {De'}
the implied object of {jatlh}.
}[in this case I don't remember if tlhIHvaD's position is right...]
As long as {-vaD} goes first in the clause it is in, it's alright that the
"if he has fixed it" clause is before that.
