This sentence is mostly good; you just need to move the -'e' to
the end of tIQ (when you add a type-5 noun suffix to a
noun+"adjective" construct, it goes after the "adjective").<br>
<br>
Also, I'd recommend moving the {law'} to between {netlh} and
{DIS}, so it's "many tens of thousands of years", rather than
"ten of thousands of many years".<br>

{toq} means "be inhabited", so this means something like
"inhabited tree-dwellers, mountain-dwellers, dragons and boys."<br>
<br>
I recommend instead switching to {[lu]tu'lu'} ("there is"/"there
are"), or possibly the verb {Dab} ({luDab X Y Z je.}).<br>
