The error is obvious to me, almost to the point of physical
discomfort. The "rule of {rom}" seems to be a fundamental part of how
I have internalized the language.

One other part isn't an obvious grammatical error, but it bothers me.
{jaghma' wIHoH} can only mean "We [will] kill our enemy." Do you
really intend to invoke a single enemy, or should it be {jaghma'
DIHoH} "we [will] kill our enemies"? I don't know the song (or the
story, for that matter).
