Ah ha, I see what you've done. I've been trying to avoid using {be'} "woman" without a suffix like -vam or -vetlh for precisely this reason and I KNEW that the one time I let it skip by would be the one time someone stumbled.

It's lo'_be', with a space. "The woman used perfectly chosen flowery words when she answered Avtandil". I'll fix this with punctuation or a suffix or something.

Hoppu' DaqDaj, tIna'tInDaq SumlaHbe'pu'mo' 'avtanDIl. jIchuHnIS'a'?

jIH:

Qov:

The lack of tense here's probably obscuring the meaning. I might recast to go something with pIH.

jIH:

jangmeH 'eb ghajchugh 'avtanDIl jatqu' ghaH 'e' vIpIH. ghaytan Do', ghaHvaD 'eb nobbe'law'taHmo' tIna'tIn.

Added later: I'm going to finish this prematurely here since I'm now in the Dallas airport after a 16-hour nonstop flight from Sydney. My TKD is in my checked luggage, I'm using public and therefore time-limited internet, and I'm pretty much stuffed from having got intermittent bouts of sleep in a variety of positions varying from mildly irritating to backache-inducing. So the rest I'll deal with later.
 
ghunchu'wI' - tugh qalegh!
