No, it is not correct. Noun conjunctions follow the listed noun
rather than appear between. Also, {-choH} typically can replace
{'e' tagh} and no verb following {'e'} can have a Type 7 suffix.
You should also recognize that this is a very earth-centric
sentence. There is one earth and there are many skies. It could
be either a more generic {puH chal je} "land and sky" or a more
specific {tera' tera' chal je} "Earth and Earth's sky".
