Qu'vatlh! This is ugly. What you want to say is simply:

verengan DaDalaw'.

The problem with your experiment is that vague "It" which is
the subject of {rur}. "It" is trying to somehow reflect back to
the sentence which is the OBJECT of {rur}. So, you are trying
to make that first sentence the SUBJECT of {rur}, which is
grammatically impossible.

I don't want to be harsh here. You are simply using really bad
tools to try to build this thought. Those tools are good for
other thoughts, but they don't work here.
