to add wood to the fire, here are examples of {-lI'} from the {paq'batlh}:
Heghrup loSlI'
[Waiting for Death to Come] (Chapter title)
 
SaqSubDaq pagh Qoylu'
    Qong SuvwI'pu' puqpu' rur
    Heghrup loSlI'
juH qachchajDaq juH qachchajDaq
    Heghrup loSlI'
    Heghrup
In the *Saq'sub* all is quiet,
    Its warriors asleep, like children
    Waiting for death to come
In their homes, in their homes,
    Waiting for death to come,
    Death to come.

Unfortunately, I don't have the published translations for some of these.  I'd be grateful if someone could oblige.
