jIQochbe'.

ghItlh Qov > I don?t see why you?d choose ?lI? for the continuous aspect because the moonlight isn?t shining to an achievable end.

jIghItlh > Tell the story of your targh truthfully. / targh Dawam vIja'taHvIS yIvIt.
ghItlh Qov > but there?s a first person verb in the translation and none in the English, so I don?t follow.

jIghItlh > I am proud of you, son of my son. / qaHem puqloDwI' puqloD.
ghItlh Qov > Hem isn?t glossed as ?proud of?. I?d prefer: SoHmo? jIHem.
