KLBC: cholugh, please

Other ridiculous problem here: I want to say, "Call me Edy"
Edy chopong - You call me Edy
Edy choponglaH - You can call me Edy
Edy qapongmoH - I cause you to call me Edy

lu'. mu'ghom jIlaDtaH. Hoch mupuqwI' (I'm reading the TKD. It is my
best friend)

It's easier ... I was thinking in other situation, but it has the
same meaning!

Once again! Okay ... it works :))

Here is my fault!!! I use it wrongly

Sometimes the use of soH, jIH 'oH are reduntand, right? So,
there is any rule to use them?
One more sentence:
Scientist discovered the first sign in a meteor falled in a planet.
In this case there are 2 sentences:
Scientist discovered the first sign - De' wa'DIch tu' tej
in a meteor fell in a planet - yuQ pum chunDab
Joining the 2 sentences I have
De' wa'DIch tu' tej yuQ pum chunDab or
yuQ pum chunDab De' wa'DIch tu' tej (?)
I would like to hear your comments in the construction of the phrase,
cause I didn't find any syntax marks and the position of the 2 sentences
cause me confusion.
