Minor grammatical error, when you use a compound sentence with {'e'}, the
second verb can not have an aspect suffix. (...'e' vIHar...) (See p. 66)

Section 4.7 says {je} and other noun conjuctions come after the _final_ noun.
We don't have a canon example of a three-noun conjuction, but I would put
{je} after all three.

HIja'. The word for "music" is {QoQ}. (HolQeD 2.4)

{qawmoH} is {qaw} (to remember) + {-moH}, meaning "to cause to
remember".
E.g. {veQ nge'meH ghaH qawmoH be'nalDaj.} (His wife reminded him to
take out the trash.)
To say "You remind me of a snake" I would say {qaleghDI' ghargh Darur
'e' vIHar} (When I see you, I belive you resemble a serpent) or simply
{ghargh Darur} (You resemble a serpent).
