I can' t use it because I would then have {San Do'} as the subject in both 
lines:

   Qugh wuv San Do'.
   Qugh So' San Do'.

What I'm contemplating at the moment is a very simple rendering:

   San Do' Qutlh Qugh'e'.
   Qugh So' San Do''e'.

   Good fortune leans on disaster.
   Disaster lurks in good fate.
