On second thought, I would not place the {-ta'} on the {Qaw'}, because
the targh didn't actually destroy the leg ; I think it is better to
place a time stamp before the {'e'}.

'uSwIj Qaw' wa'Hu' 'e' nID
yesterday it tried to destroy my leg

'uSwIj Qaw' 'op ret 'e' nID
at an unspecified period in the past it tried to destroy my leg
