Does {juS} mean "pass _through_" or just "overtake, pass by"?
Also, if you want to avoid the controvercial {-ghach}, how about
mujuSchugh vay', vaj veng Do'Ha'Daq ghoS
Actualy, I wonder if {-DI'} would be more appropriate instead of {-chugh}?
I feel that {-DI'} implies more certainty: "when(ever) one passes through,
(and it's certain that someone will)", vs. "if someone passes through (but
they may not)". It's kind of a subtle distinction; maybe too subtle (or
maybe the distinction is just in my own mind).

should this be {-Daq}?
