I don't think {Such} works for this. Instead of {...chuch wIjuS,
wISuch}, consider {...wIghoS, wIjuS}.
As for the "one of three" issue, I really dislike the suggestion of
using {-vo'}. {wej nuvpu' wa'} "one of three people" seems fine to me
(except for the potential confusion of {wej}, which is why I used the
explicit plural).
I greatly admire the skill with which you have maintained rhyme and
meter. It takes a special mindset to do it well.
