}How can you save a Romulan from drowning ?

Weelll, that works I guess.  The subject of *drown*be'meH is a little vague,
sounds odd.  

}nachDajDaqvo' qamlIj yInge'.
}Take your foot from his head.

You may not have two type-5 suffixes on the same noun.  

You might be able to retell the joke using verbs we know. 
Perhaps: voQbe'meH romuluSngan chay' bIvang?  mongDaj Dechvo' ghopDu'lIj tIteq.
