My fingers don't speak, and I'm not plural, so you need to say {nItlhDu'lIj}.

Keep your suffixes in order: {pI'law'mo'}.

Make sure that you use the correct sentence order: {pI'law'mo' nItlhDu'lIj}.

Don't put an aspect suffix on the second verb of a sentence-as-object 
construction.

pI'law'mo' nItlhDu'lIj 'e' DaghItlh.

"A Replacement Proverb you need to answer us."  I don't think "answer" is the 
correct verb here.
