prefix: {mIp luneH ghotpu'} and {'aqIS lurur ghotpu'} - {'aqIS ghotpu'} is
plural: the Akish people, Akish's people.

"loyalty"?
Insert a suffix after the verb. {-taH} will do: *{matlhtaHghach}. Fierce
loyalty or devotion bordering on fanaticism might be *{matlhqu'ghach}.

For "famine", how about *{ghungtaHghach} from {ghung} "be hungry"?

Since the original doesn't mention them, omit {Soj bIQ je}. You can easily
drop a couple of your suffixes and still get your point
across: *{Hutlhqu'ghach}. Another option might be *{DachtaHghach} from
{Dach} "be absent".
