Qapchu' <maH tay'>.
But I too get confused by how many are accompanying whom here. Part if it is the {-taHvIS}, which implies to me that some people are already walking together when a single good person decides to join the single narrator.
Perhaps saying instead {wIlenglaHmeH} would remove part of that confusion. And if the subject of {mutlhej} is intended to be plural, lose the {-qang} in order to make room for {nuvpu'} and make it explicit.
