I don't have my dictionary with me just now... Wouldn't {-mo'}
be more appropriately placed at the end of {baHtaH}? My
personal style would tend to place the purpose clause first.
Assuming all the words are right, that would be:
baHtaHmo' nuHmey HovDaq wovtaH.
Some would place the adverbial at the front, though I think
that as long as it is in front of the main verb, it should be
okay, and in this case, it disambiguates which verb owns nuHmey.
