{DuH}, AFAIK, does not take an object. It needs a recast. I suggest using
{chaq} "perhaps" in this case:
{chaq muj mu'tlheghvam} "Perhaps this sentence is wrong."
{mujchugh mu'tlheghmeywIj} "If my sentences are wrong."
Subject comes after the verb.
"If it pleases you" is {DubelmoHchugh}:
{qabelmoH'a'?} "Do I please you?" PK
I am not going to tell you that {tI'} is wrong for translating "somebody fix
them (sentences)", but I've seen {lughmoH} "cause to be correct" much more
often. {tI'} in this sense, "feels" weird.
Also, since I'm fixing "them" (more than one sentence), you must use {tI-}
Imperative, "you/them":
{tIlughmoH!} "Correct them!"
