Should be <jar>, not <DIS>. See below.

I think <qIp> is better than <mup> here. Think of <mup> of what the hammer
does to the nail, and <qIp> of what the person holding the hammer does to
the nail.
> DapoSmoHDI' vaj jach "trick or treat!".
Interesting use of <vaj>. I tend to think <vaj> is not used with <-DI'>
clauses, but it is certainly open to interpretation either way. I am
considering writing a short bit for HolQeD on the subject.

What is <OH>? I think you can just say <... vImugh: <...>>. The 'oH <...>'e'
bit really doesn't work.
The sentence inside is great. I don't think <yIwIv> is really necesary,
though.

lutIv'a' tera'nganpu' nen? chaq lutIv 'op. vItIvchu'be' jIH. 'ach lutIvqu'
Hoch tera'nganpu' nenbe' net Sov.

jagh DajeymeH nIteb yISuvrup. I should have used <jar>, not <DIS>.

Works for me.
