"the water's sky"? "the sky of the water"?
I think you mean <chal bIQ>, "water of the sky"; which I still wouldn't use.
Get away from those nouns.
SIS is a verb. Use it as a verb.
SISDI'... "when it rains..."
SIStaHvIS... "while its raining..."
SISDI' vum 'e' mev Hoch loD 'ej juH ghoS
When it rains, all the men stop working and go home.
This isn't the only way to write this.
vumbe'choH could probably be used.
vumQo' could probably be used. This one would be better with SIStaHvIS...
SISchoH could be used.
But I like my first choice better.
