Just one thing, I think this is fine, but it would be even better to swap the
clause order: {Qu' yIrInmoH latlh Dataghpa'}, because then we know right off
the bat that {latlh} refers to another *chore* ({Qu'}). Otherwise, the
meaning of {latlh} remains vague until we read {Qu'}. Even so, I wouldn't
mind seeing {latlh} first, if you like it that way. So, I admit I'm just
nitpicking. I had made a point to stop doing that, but I must be addicted to
it, or else I'm bored right now.
I also like ~mark's {nungwI' Data'pa' tlha'wI' yIta'Qo'}. His preference was
{nungwI' tlha'nIS tlha'wI'}, but that carries a meaning slightly more vague.
In this case, there is no real context from which we can infer its underlying
meaning, but it might be clear if spoken under certain circumstances.
