This is much better!  You have now correctly put the imperative prefixes on 
the *verbs*, not the nouns.  (You used the wrong prefixes, but you're still 
much closer.)

{nov} is also a noun.  It is not a verb meaning "be alien."  Therefore, to say 
"the alien starship," you say {nov 'ejDo'}.  (Literally, "aliens' starship.")

You probably don't want to put {-choH} on {Qaw'}, though.  You don't *begin* 
to destroy a ship; once you do it, that's it.  It's gone.
