"Diego 'Mago' De Miguel"-vaD jang SuStel:

Qatlhbej.  'ach chaq pupbe'.

When {neH} follows a verb, it trivializes that verb.
"I merely hate women who had hurt me (I don't do anything else to them)"
might indeed be what you mean, but it's likely that Mago wanted to say
"I hate only women who had hurt me (I don't hate other women)."  This
would be {mu'oy'pu'bogh be'pu' neH vImuS}, with {neH} after the noun.
