how about:
lab ghunchu'wI' 'ach QInDaj vIHevbe'.
better?

As you noted later in this, when I am distracted I really mess up my
word order, I'll try again:
vIwuqbe'. luwuq De'wI' pIn . ngo' <token ring> 'ej QIv DoDaj.

I was going for "many of the engineers are only temporary".
Again, I forget my word order - I guess I need to keep practicing!
ru' neH jonwI' law' - any closer???

Well, not HIS name, but only A name. What would you sugest for that?

A devise that is continually cold - the refridgerator.
How about just <bIrmoHwI'>???

Agreed. More practice...

See, sometimes I DO get it right...maybe more <qa'vIn>...
