As usual, I would appreciate any help / correction in order to improve my Klingon. I also have three questions:

1. With *paq wab ta*, *ghelmeH ngutlh* and *QulwI'* I've tried to render the meanings *audiobook*, *question mark* and *investigator/detective* respectively. Maybe there are better options? (Actually, the series is an *audio drama*, rather than an *audiobook*, I don't know how that distinction could be rendered in Klingon).

2. Is the position of the number *wej* in *ghelmeH wej ngutlh* right? Or should it go before the purpose clause, assuming *ghelmeH ngutlh* is a unit?

3. Is it possible in Klingon to elide shared elements like in this sentence: *DIS 1979 paq wab ta wa'DIch chenmoHlu'pu', wa' wen paq wab ta cha'vatlh wa'maH wa'DIch.*

Thank you!
