I like the translation "the corpses which roam" better.
As to the (jIH): I already tried to phrase it differently, but nothing 
really catches the meaning. Perhaps this would also work:
-lengbogh lompu' qo' ngan jIHpu'-
But it seems that I don't reside there at the moment.
(At least I haven't seen walking corpses around *here* for a while)
Didn't you wonder about the corpses being capable of using language?

It should mean something like "The sky becomes dark(is caused to be dark)
over the water which my hand froze(caused to be frozen)."

Looks definitely better.

Actually yav tIQ is "the ancient ground". (no water there)

Thanks! :)
