Grammatically this is fine, but it makes no sense in the context of the
story.

> rav legh SuvwI'.

Whose side is <DopDajDaq> referring to?

maj.

Body parts get <-Du'>. Whole bodies get <-mey>.

You did well with the first quote, but this one doesn't work. <jang> is not
a verb of speaking, so you would have to say <jang jupDaj. jatlh ...>.

I also don't understand what <DanejQo'> is trying to do here.
