Even though your family is composed of multiple individuals who are capable
of using speech, it is not itself a speech-capable being, and the word
{qorDu'} is grammatically singular. So say {juHmaj choHta' qorDu'wIj} "My
family has changed our home"
}pa'mey mech De'wI'maj pa', be'nI'wI' pa' je.
I don't believe we've ever heard {mech} in canon, but I would suspect that
the subject was the parties doing the trading and the object was what they
were trading. Also consider the verb {tam} - exchange, substitute.
}DaH be'nI'wI' pa' tIn law' pa'wIj tIn puS,
maj.

Shift key again: {DaH}.
De'wI' mach Dapar'a'? qatlh?
