It's time to assert my rapidly-fading authority as an ex-BG... :-)
Most of SuStel's comments are right on target, but I want to add a
couple of my own points.

However, {lIHegh neH} *is* right for "he" wants to kill "you" (plural).

The grammar is indeed fine, but the vocabulary is suspect. The appropriate
word for "find" here would be {Sam}. {tu'} means "notice".
