Very close. The "adverbial" {neH} is unusual in that it *follows* what it
is referring to. If one means "...merely because I like its speech," then
one should say {QIch vIparHa'mo' neH QetaH vIwIvta'}. There's got to be a
better way to say "I like the sound of it," but I'll let someone else work
on that for now. :-)
