Since this thread isn't marked KLBC and it's been a few days, I'll reply.

HIja'.

rut qIj qanwI'wIj. 'e' vItu'. = sometimes my pinky is black; I notice that.
qIj qanwI'wIj. rut 'e' vItu'. = my pinky is black; sometimes I notice that.

Whenever you have {-bogh nuv}, consider {-wI'}. Although, it's not
clear to me that "people who prefer left hands" are left-handers.

QISta':
> Dach matHa'mo' Hegh Hoch Duj beqpu'.
> Because the gunman was absent all the ship's crewmen died.

{Dachmo' matHa'} "because the gunner was absent", or {matHa' Dachmo'}
"because of the absent gunner".
