I don't have the orignial insult in front of me, so I'll just look at what 
you've got here.

{-lIj} is also a Type 4 noun suffix, meaning "your."  It's a possessive.  
However, when using this possessive on a noun capable of using language (like 
{SoS}), you use the suffix {-lI'} instead.

SoSlI'
your mother.
