Unless you meant "the officer and the first", {je} here should go
after the verb.

I think you need to say {mIch loS mIch vagh je}. Numbers used as
labels like this don't act like nouns the way ordinal numbers can.

I don't see how {-choHpu'-} adds anything useful to {lughDI'} in this sentence.

{chung} is missing a prefix, no?

I get lost somewhere in the middle of this overlong sentence. There's
missing punctuation, or a problem with Type 9 verb suffixes, or both.

'ej puch lulo'laHbe', 'e' yIlIjQo'.

chaq jatlh tlhIngan <qaluH DaneH'a'>.
