[tlhIngan Hol] {'e' qa'} "instead of" with the {qa'} bearing suffixes

I'm afraid I can't understand this. The way I read it is "If we use
phasers we'll win, instead of using swords". Shouldn't there be a
{-chugh} on the {yan DIlo'} too?

I can't understand this either. Could you please explain the reasons
which make you have doubts as to whether this could work in the formal
style?
