Re: to' nech 71-80
Once more, I will mostly ignore the originals as the intention here is not a
true translation.

maj. /potlh'a'/ is more than "the important thing." That's just /potlh/.
/potlh'a'/ is probably "the absolutely essential thing."

'umHa'law'chugh, tIlo'!
The /-law'/ may or may not work there (it indicates the the speaker is
uncertain of the truth of the statement, and /'umHa'law'chugh/ isn't a
statement). You may prefer this:
'umHa' 'e' DanoHchugh, tIlo'!
> Eno/Schmidt: Use `unqualified' people
ghot 'umHa' tIlo'!

/Saq/ "land" is a verb. You want /puH/.
puH gheghDaq He Daleghbe'.

Capitalize that /S/, of course.
