Using KLBC instead of KLBG will get a faster respose - I have an email
filter set up so I can see the KLBC's first.

Good use of <-Hey>.

Since it's been more than a few years, I'd probably say <ben law'>, but it's
not necessary. Also, the <-pu'> doesn't work well here. <-pu'> does not
indicate past tense; it indicates completion in the time context of the
sentence. You set the time context with <ben>, when the city was called
Constantinople, so leave off the <-pu'>.

Typo: <DaH>. Otherwise good.

I think <Daghchugh> is another typo and should be <Daghajchugh>. Otherwise,
I am confused. The rest is good.
> Dah *Istanbul*Daq loStaH ghaH.
Same typo in <DaH>, but otherwise good.
Well, this doesn't make much sense, but given that it's a song lyric (at
least I assume so), it is not necessarily supposed to.
