Suppose we want to say:

{nov Dun, Hoch jaj bIvemDI', nIQlIj DatIvmeH, vaghmaH Sor Sopchugh,
vaj tagha' chal bIQ ngem Hoch Danatlh}
"great alien, each day as soon as you wake up, in order to enjoy your
breakfast, if you eat fifty trees, then finally the entire rain forest
will be gone"

(I wonder how I keep thinking this kind of sentences..)

Anyway..

If we want to make this sentence honorific, then were do we place the
-neS ? With the exception of the Dun which is used as an adjective,
then do we need to place -neS on every single verb of that sentence ?

That is should we write:
{nov Dun, Hoch jaj bIvemneSDI', nIQlIj DatIvneSmeH, vaghmaH Sor
SopneSchugh, vaj tagha' chal bIQ ngem Hoch DanatlhneS} ?

Or if we used -neS fewer times, or maybe only once, it would suffice too ?
