You were right to have doubts. You were basically trying to use <'e'> as the
subject of a verb, which just doesn't work. Instead, you could say:
... reH HeghmoH ghu'.

majQa'. I really like this one.

QoywI'pu' is the object of <DuQ>, so you should start out with <QoywI'pu'
boDuQqu'meH>. Also, unless the players are all sharing one chuS'ugh, the
final prefix should be <tI-> rather than <yI->.

This should probably be <jInIDDI'>.
Do'Ha'.

If your car can go down it and you can chase it, it's probably not a
<qoj'a'>. It may look like it at the time, but it's probably a regular <qoj>
at most.

Since you can <jIrmoH> a betleH, <jIr> is what your ankle and knee did. What
you did to them is <jIrmoH>.
