Remember the order of suffixes! You cannot put a Rover after a Type 9 suffix
like {-'a'}!
{bIQoy} is "you hear." Next, negate it, {bIQoybe'} "you do not hear." Now,
add the Type 1 suffix: {bIQoybe''egh} "You do not hear yourself." Finally,
make it a question: {bIQoybe''egh'a'} "Do you not hear yourself?

This seems right.

{lot} is "catastrophe." {mem} is "cataloge."
Otherwise, this is okay. I might prefer to use the word {laD}, but what you
have is correct.
bIloStaHvIS, memmaj yIlaD.
This is not a question, it's a command. Don't use a question mark after it!
