maj... DaH bInajtaHvIS jughom. yablIj wI'elchu'pu'. :)
I would have said "jInaj" and not "jInajpu'". jInajpu' means "Whilke night
was happening, I had dreamt." You mean "while night was happening, I
dreamt". Just "jInaj"; the -pu' ending is ASPECT, not tense. The tense is
adequately supplied by the "qaStaHvIS ram".

"Two civilized men who were walking"... Oh... at first I had translated it
as "tay'" and not "tay" and thought you were trying for "two men who were
walking together", using "tay'" as some sort of adverb. That wouldn't
work.

Probably "mubej" and not "mulegh" for "They just looked at me." Right?
I think the object of "ghoS" should be the route taken (cf canon: He chu'
ghoS), not the thing approached. With -Daq... but that's tricky with a
- -bogh clause. Simpler: vIchol. Hmm... ghoS *is* translated "approach".

"tlhIH chaH je" qar'a'?

A little style thing to think about: maybe "vI*hum*choH"

wot 'oHbej "naj". DIp 'oHbe'. (hmmmm... DIp 'oHchugh, wej ngoDvam
wISov).
