Hey, this is a repeat.

I prefer the /Qughmo' tagh San Do''e'/ over /San Do' taghmoH Qugh'e'/, but I
don't like the use of -Daq in /San Do'Daq loS Qugh'e'/.
For the first sentence how about lIng... hmm, maybe not. How about just
using a very vague pronoun as to-be?
Qughmo' 'oH San Do''e'
Because of disaster, good fortune is.
In the second sentence it is "disaster" that is doing the action (lurking).
That makes me want to cast it as the subject, like in your [A], but I do
like /So'/ and I don't like /-Daq/; but right now I can't think of a
solution.
