Careful here. {paw} may not be able to be used this way. I believe all
examples of this verb point to a physical arrival, as opposed to a period of
time starting. You might want to consider {tagh} "to begin (a process)".
I'm not saying it's definitely wrong. But be aware of the usage shown us so
far.

{'e' *lu*Har}. *They* believe *it*.

And everything else looks good. }}: )
