{tIv} is only a verb, and so cannot be used as a noun, as you have
apparently done here.
BUT...
This could be {yItIv} or {petIv}clipped, or, failing that, we have the noun
{bel} "pleasure".

I read this as "On the star, on the star", with the expected visuals.

Not sure how to keep this simple: "Shipwrecked and comatose" is a toughy.

First, {vul} is a verb, and so must be treated as such. And {Dujpuy} isn't
canon, though I did get your meaning. I would try:

{jIvultaHvIS, 'ej jImobtaHvIS} "While I am unconscious and alone"

though that misses the idea of being shipwrecked.

{naH Doq} is two words, not one, and you might not know about {vIychorgh}
"juice, sap of a plant" from KGT.
