Wow, you're really good. I find no real grammar
errors at all, but I do have some doubts about
certain phrases.

This would actually be {cheghta'}, since he probably
returned on purpose. Also, you could transliterate
the name, if you wanted: {Haw'orID chuS}.

I think of a {DIvI'} as a government-level structure.
I think you could use {malja'} 'business'.  I like
{chenqa'moHghach}.

As per our last discussion, this could possibly be
{chenqa'moHghach'a'?}.

 "Be silent for the sake of it" isn't wrong, but it 
sounds to me. I'd use {De'vetlh yIpeghmoH} "Make this
information secret".
