>batlh choja', Matthew Whiteacre quv:

>=tInwI'bID, SoplI' vIghaj jatlhqu' Qa' wa'

>SoplIj. Food is not a person. (Well, not anymore.)

Food is also not {Sop}.  Use {Soj}.

>=Ha'DIbaHvam pujlaw' qar'a' tlhob'egh

>pujlaw' qar'a' Ha'DIbaHvam

No, {pujlaw' Ha'DIbaHvam qar'a'}.  See page 179.  The tag sentence "qar'a'"
follows the previous sentence, it doesn't intervene inside it.

>=lay'lI' Dapol

>lay' is not a noun. pol isn't the best verb either: lay'pu'ghachlIj 
>DaleHlaw'ta'

or better, avoid the "-ghach" with "-mo'".  Something like "bIlay'pu'mo'
yIta'" (or replace "ta'" with an appropriate verb).  Think like charghwI'.
