Just two quick comments.

You are likely correct in using "bepmeH", since Okrand also uses it for an
unspecified subject (even when the subject is known), in "Dochvetlh DIlmeH
Huch 'ar DaneH?"  Still, it would be clearer (and sound better to my ear,
not to mention be less English-centric, and that's a fun goal to have) to
say "bIbepmeH" and "jIbepmeH".

Also, it should be "*marqoS* mu'mey vIQochbe'bej": possessor first.
