maj. You could use <Sum> instead of <HopHa'>, though.

maj. This is an excellent way to express "I like the fragrance..." without
any long convoluted sentences.

You don't need the <-Daq> on the <lav>. <Dab> is defined as "dwell in/at,
reside in/at", so it includes the <-Daq> idea.

maj. The <qaSDI'> is fine but not necessary - timestamps like <jajlo'> can
be used all by themselves. The sentence works either way.
