The verb prefix {vI-} appears repeatedly when it isn't appropriate:

There are some odd contortions with pronouns and plurals:

I also wonder about the correctness of {SoS bo'Degh} {ghu bo'Degh},  
but I'm not sure what to suggest in their place.

For "nest" I might be tempted to say something like {QImDuQ}, but I  
won't actively suggest it.  "Snort" ought to be well paralleled by  
{chuy} "sneeze".
