Sorry, it was a long night, and my thought processes were slowing. Let me
clarify. This is *not* a good translation. yabwIjDaq HIvqa' veqlargh!
Assuming ~mark is right, in that you cannot put {-wI'} on a verb with a
prefix, then what you've done is simply outright wrong.
If you *can* do it (which I am really unsure of now), then there's another
problem. *{muHoHbe'wI' muHoSmoHbe'bej} doesn't have the object prefix
matching the object. The prefix says the object should be "me," but the
object is a thing.
