Would {qacheghchoH} be better. Or should I add the locative
{-Daq}, because it's my destination...

Done.

I selected the last choice Qov; "I've uninterrupted ... " I
thought {-Ha'} was to undo something, in other words something like
"To undo the interruption ... "

I think I meant; {qaQaQbe' ghojwI'!}, and if I take your
answer and my thoughts I get very worried.
I wanted to use {-Ha'}, basically because I like that suffix
more than {-be'}, but I had and idea that I couldn't undo good... (c;

Changed!

HIja'!
A word of warning I get my Objects and Subjects mixed up all
the time. I start practicing that and I'll put KLBC back into the
subject line from now on! Hell, I got one sentence right, I'm
celebrating!
