Well, first off, with {DIS}, you can't tell if this is "While
last year happened" or "While this next year happens". Is it
past or future? Secondly, you left out a glottal stop. The
comical result means, "While a year happens, I am present at
zero significant-babies." You meant {ghu''a'Daq}, though I
think that {wanI'Daq} might be a better choice. Note that here
we are talking about the physical location of the event.
