Slight problem with the first version. You have the word order and
your prefixes all right, but {'oy'} means "hurt" as in "be sore" not
as in hurting someone else. For that idea you need to add {-moH}:
{mu'oy'moH} "it hurts me." You have to pick this out from the fact
that the definition is "hurt, be sore" not "hurt, injure." For some
words we only know the proper usage from canon examples.

This version works perfectly. majQa'. qaHoy'.
