I trying to say "When the storm has passed, the evil ones are undone, but the
honorable ones are always standing." I was a little hesitant on using
-chaHHa'lu'- but I think it works with one change: -chaHHa'moHlu'

My reasoning:
*chaH: they are* becomes *chaHHa': they are no more.* However, this has the
idea that they undid their existence themselves, so I added *-lu'.* Of course
this makes no sense without the *-moH* which I accidently overlooked. But now
that I've written this, perhaps *lutaHHa'lu': they are discontiuned* would
have been a better choice. It makes more sense and avoids the confusion of my
first choice.

I still believe *chaHHa'moHlu'* works but is a bit strange.
