You forgot the {-DI'} on {luSampu'}.

I'm not sure one can {taH} something. Try this instead:

    rInDI' may' 'alneghvammo' taH vavlI'
    when the battle was done, because of this axe my father survived

Or simpler:

    'alneghvammo' may'Daq Heghbe'pu' vavlI'
    because of this axe, my father did not die at the battle

This resembles the proverb in THE KLINGON WAY:

    QI'tomerDaq Heghpu' Hoch
    no one survived Khitomer
    (literally: everyone died at Khitomer)

Consider also {chagh} "drop."
