Oh my God! Hahaha! YAAY! You got it! Well, the only two errors are:

-You should put 'sol� paruzeva' (I thought) not 'solio paruzeva' (the second one is "we thought")

-And it's 'egredio' not 'egrido'

But in fact however, your earlier translation was also correct! The only difference between your first translation and your second one was that you were speaking more formally in the first by seperating the pronoun!

sol� paruzeva (I thought/I figured) - said like this it comes out more 'formal' and more 'proper'
paruzevo (I thought/I figured) - said like this it comes out as if you are a native speaker

(think about it like this, in English it's more 'proper' to say "I did not" instead of "I didn't" although nowadays the line between contractions like that is becoming thinner and it's almost becoming as formal)

The possible translations are:

["egredio. . . lemesdereum eum virtiz?" paruzevo quez osevo. . .]

["egredio. . . solu lemesdere eum virtiz?" sol� paruzeva quez sol� oseva. . .]

Yeah. . . I'm really sorry to everyone about the 'terminology' I'm using at the Wiki, it's difficult sometimes for me to not get confused also! I was beginning to worry while posting up the grammar that I may be making it difficult to understand (I don't claim to be a master in language or anything, because a lot of stuff confuses me too) But I AM trying to make it as simple as possible! For example I'm posting "past tense" instead of "preterite tense" so I make it less confusing. But it's gotta have a firm backbone so it can work 'officially'.
