My friend, I'm afraid these will have to be recast.

We lack {Hol} words to relate the following concepts:
"to pave"
"ash"
"doom"

Remember that {tlhIngan Hol} is another language, recognized as such by the Modern Language Association, so ideas like "Gre'thor will be paved with their ashes" are a little too idiomatic to encode well.

OTOH, "Gre'thor will be paved with their ashes" could be communicated differently:
{tugh 'Iwchajmo' DoqchoH bIQtIq}
"Soon, the river will redden with their blood."

Just an idea. But be sure to start a different topic in this forum, instead of continuing an old one. Otherwise, ask away! I'm ready.
