Perhaps it' better to put the "again" #3 suffix {-qa'} at the "passing" of five minutes:
{qaSqa'DI' vagh tup Qu'Hommeyqoqmo' QapHa' De'wI'wIj}
"as soon as five minutes happen again, my computer malfunctions because of socalled minor tasks."
Other ways are also possible.
>I couldn't work out how to do this. But I kind of get the {'e'} usage now.
