<br>
This sentence is mostly good; you just need to move the -'e' to the end of tIQ (when you add a type-5 noun suffix to a noun+"adjective" construct, it goes after the "adjective").<br>
<br>
Also, I'd recommend moving the {law'} to between {netlh} and {DIS}, so it's "many tens of thousands of years", rather than "ten of thousands of many years".<br>

> Sornganpu' HuDnganpu' lung'a'pu' loDHompu' je toq.<br>
<br>
{toq} means "be inhabited", so this means something like "inhabited tree-dwellers, mountain-dwellers, dragons and boys."<br>
<br>
I recommend instead switching to {[lu]tu'lu'} ("there is"/"there are"), or possibly the verb {Dab} ({luDab X Y Z je.}).<br>

In order:<br>
<br>
{lung} means "lizard" (KGT 218) so a {lung'a'} would be a "great lizard." {lung'a'pu'} implies they're capable of language, so...<br>
<br>
I indicated that {yuQvam}, "this planet," was the topic by adding the suffix {-'e'}. Ergo this planet (Earth) is/was inhabited by the creatures I listed. Given that I stated the topic in the previous sentence, I didn't think I needed to restate it in the
second.<br>
