"We're apparently in paradise.  Is it possible that we've died?"
({QI'tu'} is the source of creation though; {Suto'vo'qor} is where
honourable warriors go when they die, and {ghe'tor} the dishonourable
ones.)

However, this sentence doesn't have {-meH}.  Also, I think the {qIt}
is extraneous: {maHeghpu''a'} does just as well, and it is
unambiguously grammatical.  I don't see what your sentence adds, other
than apparent grammatical violation.

loghaD:
> wej pa' pawmeH vay' DuH'a'?

I have no idea how to parse this.  It's gibberish to me.
