Hmm. Yes, "ghur" should probably come before "yInlIj". I don't really see
that the "-taH" adds much here, but if you want it it needs to be before
the -chugh, since -chugh is a type-9 suffix and -taH a type-7.
How about "rejmorgh SoH[taH]chugh vaj nI'choH'a' yInlIj" for "does your
life get long(er)?" You could probably use "nI''a'", but I think "nI'choH"
indicates that the life is purportedly langthening (changing its status of
longevity).
