Maybe I do not understand what you mean, or that's nothing new:

 > 2. QamchIyDaq Dun 'uQ'a'.
>     The feast at QamchIy was wonderful.

That's a normal and acceaptable phrase: At Qamchee, the dinner was great.

> 4. HewDaq SuvwI' yIqel. QamchIyDaq Suvpu'.

Again, as above.

Depends on how you read it. {tajDaq ret'aq} is not correct, but uf  you 
read {[tajDaq], ret'aq vIyach}, then it's standard as above.
